DAFFODIL
SUNDAY 2010 11am - 4pm
Sunday 21st March will be our first Daffodil Day
At Hartland Abbey we are holding
our first Daffodil Sunday on 21st March, from 11am - 4pm. We have
a wonderful collection of historic daffodils, many planted 150
years ago. In 2010 we have decided to have a change from our Snowdrop
Sundays in order for our visitors to see our stunning display
of daffodils. In the past year many more have been transplanted
from Grenville College, formerly Moreton House, home to the Stucley
family until 1950. Our wild flower days have now become established
as really good fun days out for everyone including the dogs, of
which literally hundreds turned up last year (with their owners!)
Visitors will be able to see not only the daffodils,
but also lots of camellias, hellebores, early spring bulbs, mimosas
and our lovely wild primroses and violets but due to the vagaries
of the English weather, who knows what will be out! Parts of the
estate, normally closed to the public, because they are stocked,
will be open and there is plenty of opportunity for a really good
walk to Blackpool Mill, which starred as ‘Barton Cottage’ in the
BBC adaptation of ‘Sense and Sensibility’. The Abbey itself will
be open between 1 – 4pm at a small extra charge.
Warming hot pasties, light lunches and really
good home made cream teas will be provided by the wonderful ladies
of St. Nectan’s Church with all the profits going to this beautiful
church. Visitors are advised to bring wellies!
