Since 1884, the United Kingdom’s National Trust has protected thousands of acres of land. The trust protected more than 700 miles of coastline, as well as historic estates, gardens and wildlife.
Blickling Estate has been part of the Nation Trust since 1940, and remains one of the most popular grounds among visitors. Sprawling gardens in full bloom surround the incredible red brick estate with an array of vibrant spring blossoms. Blickling gardeners provide tours of the grounds and gardening tips for guests.
Dunwich Heath is surrounded by blooming wildflowers and lavender groundcover, boasting picturesque footpaths through the garden grounds. Bird watching’s peak season is March–August, when visitors explore incredible flora and fauna along the Suffolk coastline.
Alfriston Clergy House Polegate, in East Sussex, comes to life in the springtime. This unique estate exists among a colorful garden and ancient architecture, as the Clergy House was the first building saved by the National Trust. Orchards of muscari and pulmonaria flowers line the property, providing a beautiful spring display.
