Notes & Booking form for the Poppy Days.
As the weather each year differs it id near impossible to tell you when
the optimum time to visit is. Normally we would say the first 2
weeks in June, but 2007 saw an early warm spring and the Poppies started
flowering on April 29th instead of late May, early June.
I would suggest that after you have made your booking, you contact us by
telephone to enquire the optimum time to visit, we will do our best to
change your booking and ensure that your visit is well worth while.
