The village of Mells in Somerset is your perfect snowdrop destination. Whether its pottering around the village or strolling down the historical Wadbury Valley.

There are patches of snowdrops all around the village, my favourite being on the green down from the school.

Mells Valley
Leading out of the village is Wadbury Valley. This steep sided wooded valley is full of tumbling old mill buildings and waterfalls.

Not much light reaches the woodland floor, this may be why many of the snowdrops have not yet opened. I love the patches where the flowers mingle with brambles between the moss covered roots.

When the sun does come out the snowdrops really start to shine.
