Snowdrops in the snow

What an interesting few days, weather-wise! It's been snowing... and thawing... and snowing... and thawing... you get the picture. We seem to have had today's snowfall now, and the thaw is happening. There was glorious sunshine over the weekend and lots of people visited Snowdrop Valley (and our tearoom). Frank's scones - we have a secret recipe - are getting rave reviews.
The Park & Ride has finished now for this year, but of course the path down to the valley is open and the signs will be in place for the rest of this week at least (note that you can't drive down to the valley at the moment - the road remains closed till the end of the month).
Paths are very muddy, so do bring appropriate clothing and wellies or walking boots.
The Exmoor House tearoom will be open until Sunday, so do call in if you're in the neighbourhood. We've accommodation available for all nights this week too.

Update on Snowdrop Valley

The snowdrops are looking better every day just now! The Park & Ride from Wheddon Cross ends in a week's time but the road closure stays in place until the end of February and the information point in the village car park will still be open too.

It's a lovely walk down to the valley (and back up again!) but it can be quite muddy - so good, strong, non-slip footwear is essential.

Our tearoom at Exmoor House will be open most days, so do come in and try some of our lovely scones, teacakes, ploughman's lunches, soup, rolls - everything home-made.
