A Serene Encounter with Snowdrops at Lytham Hall, Lancashire, England Posted on March 17, 2024July 12, 2024 By Travelworldwide I recently went to an event in Lancashire and had a wonderful time strolling through the wooded grounds at Lytham Hall, admiring the beautiful snowdrops. One of the joys of spring in England is witnessing the seasonal flowers that signal the transition from winter to spring, with snowdrops being the first to appear. These tiny, white flowers are quite particular about their environment, thriving best in woodland areas. They won’t flourish just anywhere and are most successfully planted in your garden when they are ‘in the green,’ meaning with the moist soil still clinging to their roots. Lytham Hall itself was constructed for the Clifton family back in the 1760s. The main house boasts some exquisite portraits and interiors, though it is only open to the public on specific Sundays, holidays, or by prior arrangement for groups. The grounds of Lytham Hall are also accessible to the public on selected days, and there are several events, including guided walks through the grounds. If you plan to visit, it’s a good idea to check the website for event details. For those looking to explore the charming coastal town of Lytham, I’ve heard that The Rooms Boutique B & B is a recommended place to stay, though I haven’t personally visited it. Blog
