Snowdrop Days
This is a Past Event and has been Archived.
For 2012 we are delighted to be opening the gardens once again for snowdrops. The spectacular display of snowdrops in Goldsborough Hall’s 11-acre royal gardens are made up of two species – single Snowdrops Galanthus nivalis and double Galanthus nivalis ‘flore pleno’. New for 2012, is a Species Snowdrop Walk which will feature some rare varieties of snowdrops in a newly cleared area of the woods. On Snowdrop days, visitors can enjoy access to the grounds of this private former Royal residence, also taking in delicate hellebores and carpets of winter aconites. They can enjoy a stroll down the quarter-mile Lime Tree Walk, which was planted by royal visitors to the Hall during the 1920s. Plaques on the trees show the dates when dignitaries including King George and Queen Mary planted trees.
Goldsborough Hall’s gardens will be open from 10am – 4pm (last admission), adults £5 and children under 16 go free.
