The Snowdrop Valley park & ride normally operates from late January or early February, for three weeks. It starts from the Wheddon Cross village card park, just a few yards from Exmoor House.

From its source near Dunkery Beacon, the river Avill follows a twisting course down to the Bristol Channel near Dunster. Very picturesque in its own right, the Avill Valley really comes into its own in the spring, when the riverbanks are carpeted in snowdrops.

Each spring people come from miles around to visit Snowdrop Valley. In fact it's become so popular that during Snowdrop Valley time a park-and-ride scheme, making use of special pint-sized buses, operates from Wheddon Cross.

The walk down to the valley is very pretty, but it's steep and the path can be muddy and slippery. So if you don’t fancy walking the whole way (about a mile) you can just nip across the road to the park-and-ride bus stop.

Though the computer screen can’t really do the colours justice, the pictures here hopefully give some idea of why Snowdrop Valley has them packing on those buses.

It’s impossible, of course, to say exactly when the snowdrops will be on show, but if you come to Exmoor House in February or early March you may strike it lucky. If you don’t, you’ll just have to make do with fantastic views from Dunkery, Exmoor ponies grazing on Winsford Hill, the chance of seeing wild deer - you know, just the usual stuff.
