In the heart of Wharfedale, one of the most beautiful of all the Yorkshire Dales, we visited Parcevall Hall Gardens on the last day of March 2012 to see daffodils in a very natural habitat.
 |
We were not the only visitors and, given gunshot around the dale, I think the residents should stay where they are. |
 |
Naturalised gardens like this are the best way of enjoying the flower. |
 |
After a climb through the light and closely planted woodland there is a quite surprising view giving some indication of the terrain in the National Park. |
 |
The cherry blossom was worth the admission price alone. Here it bursts from the trunk. |
 |
The gardens were first established in 1927 and remain one of the undiscovered jewels in a magnificent part of Yorkshire. |
 |
The early bumble bees were out in force. |
 |
Primula vulgaris subsp. sibthorpii. |
 |
American Skunk Cabbage was an exotic find in the Yorkshire Dales so early in the year. |
