Secret snowdrop walks: The ‘majestic’ Nottingham snowdrop walk that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day

We’re now just a few days away from Valentine’s Day, which inevitably means that couples across the country will be busy scrambling for ways to celebrate.

If you’ve been with someone for a while it can be difficult to come up with creative ways to spend Valentine’s Day.

Some couples resort to paying way too much for a meal at a restaurant out of desperation, but if you think outside the box there are far cheaper and more enjoyable alternatives.

How does a romantic walk among thousands of snowdrops in the grounds of a historic Nottingham hall grab you?

If that sounds like a better idea than paying north of £50 a head for a lousy set menu, allow us to elaborate.

The ‘majestic’ snowdrop gardens at Holme Pierrepont Hall

Holme Pierrepont Hall, near Radcliffe on Trent, has opened its famous snowdrop garden until February 28.

Each winter, the hall’s gardens are transformed into a carpet of white by thousands of snowdrops.

Visitors can walk through the gardens at their leisure before taking a look inside the hall itself.

Winter sees the gardens transformed by other flowering plants including hellebores, aconites, cyclamen, cornus and winter flowering irises.

It costs just £6 per person to explore the gardens, or £14 for access to both the gardens and hall.

Free parking is available on-site.
