A new study by Wild Packs analysed nearly 30,000 reviews from 48 national trust properties and gave Nymans third place.

The company for American summer camp staff at www.wildpacks.com said: “33 per cent of reviews of Nymans submitted during the spring made reference to words associated with springtime flowers, such as ‘daffodil’, ‘crocus’ and ‘snowdrop’.”

A spokesperson said: “Nymans, an exquisite property under the care of the National Trust, explodes with colour during late winter and early spring. Surrounded by the fairytale-like ruins of the original gothic mansion, this quintessentially English country garden is truly a horticulturalist’s dream and boasts flora from around the world. Visit in March to experience daffodils in bloom, signalling the imminent arrival of spring. In April, delicate primroses begin to unfold, adding a touch of softness to the landscape.

“Try to visit Nymans between March and May, when the estate is dominated by spring flowers. If you visit in May, remember to explore the surrounding woodland, which is transformed by a carpet of bluebells.”
