Experience one of the UK's most popular Snowdrop Walks at Rode Hall & Gardens in Cheshire to mark the start of spring. After the cold, dark winter months Snowdrops are a sure sign that Spring is well and truly under way!  A beautiful end-of-winter walk for all the family with a wonderfully diverse landscape and over 70 varieties of snowdrops. Walk along paths amidst carpets of white flowers on an enchanting mile-long route (with options for longer or shorter walks). Take in the wild beauty of cascading snowdrops in the Old Wood and Wild Garden, the scenic path down to the Lake and drifts of snowdrops in the borders of the formal Nesfield garden in front of the Hall. Highlights are also the two acre Walled Kitchen Garden and an unmissable vista down the Colonel's Walk where some of the rarest varieties can be viewed.

A labour of love, the snowdrops have multiplied over 6 generations of the Wilbraham family; they were first planted by Sibella Wilbraham in 1833 who came from a family of gifted gardeners. This passion and care continues to the present day having been further developed by Anne Baker Wilbraham over the last 30 years.

Visitors can also buy Rode Hall snowdrops (including limited amounts of many of the more unusual varieties) to plant at home.
