This year's first fully open daffodil appeared in our garden on the 27th February. This was a little later than normal which did not bode well for the first Daffodil Weekend in the Golden Triangle on the Herefordshire/Gloucestershire border.
Fortunately, the recent period of sunny days meant the nature reserve known as Gwen & Vera's Fields provided a good display of these delicate wild daffodils. These two small wildflower meadows/orchards are examples of what used to be a common feature of the area around Newent.

Without the benefit of long sunny days, the display of golden daffodils was less impressive in Betty Daws Wood ...

On the plus side, the display should be even better next weekend (15th/16th March) when Kempley hosts the event. Last year's Daffodil Weekends took place later in March and were all the better for it.
St Mary's Church, Dymock has a permanent display about the Dymock Poets who resided and visited the area at the start of WWI (World War 1).
