Time for Five On Friday again, I am sure I don't know where the days are going to. Once again I am linking with Amy at Love Made My Home on her 1st Anniversary of Five On Friday. Do go and pay a visit to Amy's blog where there are links to more Five On Friday posts.
This week I am bringing you photos from a visit my DH and I made yesterday to Welford Park (where Bake Off is filmed). Primarily we went to view their famous snowdrop woods but there is so much else to see there. This was our first visit on what I hope will become an annual pilgrimage. The sight of the snowdrop woods was just breath-taking and it has been so difficult just choosing five photos to show you so I have cheated slightly by putting some non-snowdrop views into a mosaic and counting that as one picture.
I hope you have enjoyed viewing these photos and if you love snowdrops and are in the vicinity of Newbury (Berkshire) please go and pay a visit, it is open until early March from Wednesday through to Sunday and the entrance fees (which are very reasonable) all go to various charities.
Fabulous! I visited Welford for the first time last year, so many snowdrops, a glorious place. x
ReplyDeleteStunning photos - those snowdrops are beautiful! I'm heading off to a snowdrop garden near me shortly, but I don't think there will be as many snowdrops as you saw!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed my walk. I'd be wary of walking some places alone, places I'm not so familiar with! The reservoir though is somewhere I've been walking around since I was very small and I've never been afraid of being there alone, same goes for the rocks in the photos, I'll walk up there myself quite happily. I'm a bit of loner - I'm happy by myself and don't really have any other people to walk with so if it's a choice of not walking, or walking alone, I'll go it alone! At least in the Peak District! You could always do a few lone walks - shorter ones in places you know well to start with and see how you feel about it!
What a marvellous place, Jan! Thank you for sharing these beautiful images! It's lovely to see flowers and sunshine, since we have now about one foot of snow and more coming...
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend! xx

ReplyDeleteI've seen forests full of blue bells, but never that many snowdrops, what a great photo.
ReplyDeleteOh, I had heard of bluebell woods but not of the snowdrop woods. How wonderful. Thanks for sharing this.

I have not been to Welford Park, am making a note now about the snow drops. We have lovely snowdrop teas around her, also breathtaking. But the sheer caper mass there is stunning. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThese photos are spectacular! I have never been to a snowdrop wood, although we do have snowdrops here (Canada). That carpet of flowers is just amazing, looks like real snow! Thanks for sharing this little piece of heaven :)

ReplyDeleteWow Jan, I haven't seen such a wonderful display of snowdrops as this. The woods look carpeted with snow, so lovely! Welford park looks wonderful too! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty!! I've never seen a snowdrop in real life, Jan, so this carpet of them looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteJust amazing! You have captured such a marvelous sight. It's hard to even imagine how spectacular it must have been in person.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen so many snowdrops!
