Colesbourne Park

Colesbourne Gardens is the premier place to see snowdrops in bloom. The collection is probably the most varied of any garden on display, with over three hundred varieties of this spectacular harbinger of spring on show during the short season. Over 10 acres of private gardens and woodland walks with a mix of snowdrops, hellebores, cyclamen and a wide variety of early flowering shrubs.

The Gardens include an arboretum of rare trees privately collected over the past 120 years, many of which are Champion trees listed in the Tree Register of the British Isles. The gardens comprise approximately 10 acres of formal snowdrop walks around the house and lake, with further parkland and an arboretum around the house to explore further afield. The beautiful St James’ church is always open and on most Saturdays and Sundays during the season there will be bells ringing out along the valley as visiting campanologists come to make beautiful sounds synonymous with the rural setting. Toilet facilities are located in the courtyard with a plant sales stall.
