The thought of spring instantly conjures images of colourful flowers, woodland blankets of vibrant bluebells and pure white snowdrops, banks of daffodils, hedges full of songbirds and fields full of lambs.
We’ve sought out some of the prettiest places in the UK to visit in spring which will well and truly chase away those dark winter days.
Bodnant Gardens, Wales
After the dark winter months we are craving colour and life from the great outdoors which is why renowned Bodnant Gardens is certainly the place to go. The beautiful Laburnum arch is thrown into colour towards the end of spring. A golden yellow, which under the spring sunshine, glows around the whole garden. Be quick though, once the arch is in full colour it only lasts a couple of weeks! Away from the archway, Bodnant garden provides acres of open space for families to enjoy spring picnics and for kids to run around the well-kept lawns and explore the hidden corners and grand ponds.
Plan a spring holiday with the family in Wales and make the most of the delights of spring, search our cottages in Wales to find somewhere you’ll all love.
The Cotswolds
With its honey-coloured stone villages, The Cotswolds is beautiful at any time of year but spring brings with it a whole mix of new colours. Daffodils, snowdrops and primroses line the hedgerows and baby lambs can be seen playing in the fields. A simple afternoon stroll along peaceful country lanes and footpaths reveal all the signs that winter has been long-forgotten. Spring time is a great opportunity to explore some of the Cotswold Way, with 100 miles of footpaths running beside peaceful rivers, through pretty villages and across open countryside, the scenery is sure to take your breath away.
After a long day walking through the countryside or discovering the Cotswold’s pretty villages, relax in one of our cosy Cotswold holiday cottages.
