Spring has Sprung
As winter fades and the days grow longer, Cornwall bursts into a vibrant display of spring flowers that transform the county into a floral paradise. From golden daffodils swaying in the coastal breeze to carpets of bluebells in ancient woodlands, the season offers an enchanting experience for nature lovers and visitors alike.
Spring Daffodils
One of the first signs of spring in Cornwall is the emergence of daffodils. Thanks to Cornwall’s mild climate, these cheerful blooms appear as early as January, painting fields and gardens in hues of yellow and orange. The National Trust’s Trelissick Gardens and the stunning Lost Gardens of Heligan are perfect places to witness this seasonal spectacle.
By April, Cornwall’s countryside is awash with delicate primroses, violets, and wild garlic. The woodlands and riverbanks, such as those in the Tamar Valley, become blanketed in a fragrant and colorful display. But perhaps the most magical sight of all is the arrival of bluebells in late spring. Locations such as Lanhydrock and Enys Gardens boast breathtaking swathes of these violet-hued flowers, creating a dreamlike atmosphere for walkers and photographers.
Exotic Blooms
For those who adore exotic blooms, a visit to Trebah Garden or Glendurgan Garden is a must. These subtropical paradises burst into life with camellias, magnolias, and rhododendrons, their vivid colors contrasting against Cornwall’s lush green landscapes.
Spring in Cornwall is a true feast for the senses. Whether you’re strolling along coastal paths lined with sea thrift or meandering through a bluebell-strewn forest, the county’s floral beauty is guaranteed to leave you enchanted. So why not plan a visit and immerse yourself in the wonder of Cornwall’s spring flowers?
