VISITORS to Lydiard Park can currently see and smell huge swathes of snowdrops currently carpeting the grounds of historic Lydiard House.

Meanwhile, Sunday sees Wiltshire Wildlife Trust begin a spring flower survey at the park, beginning at 2.30pm.

The trust is looking for volunteers to come and help with the project, which it says will give an insight into the lifecycles of species of plants and flowers which have been planted there during the last 400 years.
