SNOWDROP SEASON DURING FEBRUARY- 3 SPECTACULAR SNOWDROP WALKS nearby to enjoy
Our 2 Award winning eco barn conversions for self catering breaks at Troutsdale Farm, nr Leek on the Sourthern Edge of the Peak District National – offer a chance to revive, refresh, to just get away from it all, or meet up with family and enjoy precious time together.
With stunning views over open countryside, Tittesworth Reservoir and The Roaches they offer peace and tranquillity in a rural setting all year round.
But in the month of February the first signs of spring can be enjoyed with the lengthening days and spectacular walks in the area.
We are fortunate to be centrally located between 3 nationally renowned areas in this country for magnificent snowdrops displays that are within easy reach and offer some of the most lovely walks that you can do in this area. The snowdrops attract followers from near and far such is the appeal of these exquisite flowers that herald the start of spring. Delicate and yet at the same time robust they are one of our most loved flowers – whether magically carpeting country paths in the wild or in garden borders. They simply cheer the soul and tell us we have another year of flora in store.
Snowdrops around the Peak District villages of Milldale and Alstonfield:-
Alstonfield and Milldale villages are well known for their various sites with vast quantities of snowdrops in a natural setting in some of the most lovely scenic countryside around the Peak District National Park.
Hopton Hall in Derbyshire:-
Open each day between Saturday 1st February and Sunday 1st March 2020 open from 10.30am closes at 4.00pm.

Since 1996, the woodland and its walks have gradually been cleared and restored. This has resulted in wonderful displays of Snowdrops and Aconites accross 5 acres of woodland.
