Default Snowdrops on display

Any recommendations for good places to see snowdrops?

Did anyone get to Colesbourne Park, Glos on either of the last 2
weekends? It is the home of the Elwes family where they have bred
some of the Elwesii snowdrops. Nice masses of snowdrops under the
trees but I must admit I prefer to see drifts of wild ones as at the
snowdrop valley on Exmoor. The subtle differences in different
varieties of snowdrop is a bit too technical for me.
They charged £5 per adult to go in and were selling bulbs of one
variety, George Elwes, for £20 a bulb!!!
If you didn't get there you are too late this year.


Cheers
