Lydiard Park has been celebrating the early signs of spring.

The Swindon park announced via a Facebook post that "This week brought a touch of spring to Lydiard Park, even with all the rain".

The post noted that flowers have already begun to bloom, including crocuses and snowdrops.

Lydiard Park has encouraged people to bring their wellies.

The Facebook post said: "Bring your wellies with you this weekend and enjoy a walk around our historic landscape, keeping an eye out for snowdrops and crocuses.

"Afterwards, warm up with a drink and sweet treat in our Coach House Tea Rooms.

"Or enjoy lunch in the Palm Bar & Restaurant at Lydiard Park Hotel."

Lydiard Park is a historic estate on the western edge of Swindon, with the Palladian House, church and Walled Garden, set in 260 acres of parkland.

The park continues to be owned and managed by Swindon Borough Council.
