Saltram - Snowdrop search

Snowdrops are usually out by the end of January in the South West, but the winter was so bad I wondered if they would be late this year.  However, a nearby garden had some in flower so we decided to see if there were any out in Saltram.

The National Trust magazine said there were some in the woods near Stag Lodge and by the river near Point Cottage.  We therefore walked towards Stag Lodge from the car park, but could not see any snowdrops.  We took the Dell walk down to Point Cottage and soon came to a small clump.


We continued on our walk past the Ampitheatre and bird hide along the estuary bank and then up the hill past the House to the car park.  It was a very pleasant walk, but obviously too early this year to see a big display of snowdrops.
