Benington Lordship’s diverse landscaping provides visitors with plenty to view all year.
Every year in February, the gardens are transformed into a magnificent display of naturalised snowdrops around the ruins of the Norman castle and surrounding moat. Around the ponds, hellebores, aconites, and winter-blooming shrubs are in bloom, as are the colourful stems of acers, cornus, and willow.
The current owner’s family planted the snowdrop path, which runs along the top of the moat’s wall, in the early twentieth century. The practise of opening the gardens during the snowdrop season has been maintained to this day.
