See the first signs of spring

Now that the weather is turning slightly warmer and the longer daylight hours are here, it’s time to dust off those walking boots and get out into the great outdoors.

One of the signs that spring is well and truly on its way is when spring plants such as snowdrops, daffodils, crocuses and bluebells come out to bloom.

These can especially be seen on The Stray, Harrogate, so make the most of the season and head out for a walk or run. For more inspiration, check out these 7 places to see spring flowers in Yorkshire.
