The UK’s best circular walk for March is full of daffodils – stops at | UK | Travel
With winter gradually taking its leave, spring returns once again, bringing gorgeous blossoms and slightly warmer temperatures. With the arrival of the new season comes the perfect excuse to head back outdoors – and one scenic circular walk has now been hailed the “best”, according to The Telegraph.
Daffodil Way in Dymock holds a stunning display of wild daffodils. The fields, in Gloucestershire, feature a carefully waymarked walk through the countryside south and west of the village. The trail also features a cosy pub on the way.
Visitors can pause from their wonder through the fields to have a drink at Beauchamp Arms which lies near the start of the walking trail.
TripAdvisor reviewers have praised the pub for its excellent food, with one visitor writing, “We were visiting the area and called in for an evening meal as we were passing. We were so pleased we did. The service was so friendly and the food [f]antastic.”
The flowers stretch across Dymock, Kempley and Oxenhall, to the north-east of Ross-on-Wye.
The circular route goes on for 9.6 miles and, towards the end of March each year, a “golden triangle” of Gloucestershire villages transforms into a sea of the wild, yellow flowers.
Daffodils hold strong financial significance for the area, bringing in tourists every year.
Visitors can also stop by to experience the surroundings that one of the most significant literary groups of the 20th century wrote in. The area holds cultural significance as it is home to the six Dymock Poets who lived, walked and wrote locally during the First World War period.
Kempley Daffodil Weekend falls on 14 March and 15 March this year.
During this period, tourists have the option to join an organised group walk. Visitors can find more information at daffs.org.uk.
The Kempley Daffodil Weekend team stated on their website: “We are delighted to once again be welcoming visitors from near and far to enjoy daffodil teas, bacon butties, guided walks, the daff-and-ride bus and – last but not least – the glorious carpet of wild daffodils “fluttering and dancing in the breeze” and proudly announcing with their golden trumpets the arrival of spring in the Golden Triangle.”
Tourists travelling from far also have the option to stay overnight nearby. The Saracens Head Inn in Symonds Yat has double rooms from £135 including breakfast. More information about the inn can be found at saracensheadinn.co.uk.
