Three years ago, en route to a family wedding, we made a stop at Welford Park to see the snowdrops. It is not normally open to the public (although you can see it if you watch Bake Off), but they open for a few weeks each year when the snowdrops are in bloom. This year, we decided to go back again to see the flowers. They will appear in a separate post but, for this entry, I am focusing on the rest of the estate.

It is not a grand location like some in the area, but it certainly isn’t shabby. The house is big enough, the landscaping is lovely, rivers flow through various parts of the grounds, there are bridges, gardens are laid out, there is the church and churchyard next to the house so, all in all, it is a pretty nice-looking place. On our previous visit, we hadn’t explored some parts of the grounds, so this time it was good to check things out in a bit more detail.
