Talking about the National Trust's Edwardian Botanical Gardens and why it's a must-visit this Easter, The Times said: "Dyffryn Gardens doesn’t just do daffs, it has its own internationally recognised breed — Narcissus Dyffryn or the Dyffryn daffodil. And that’s just the start.

"You will find springtime sprouting everywhere within this 55-acre collection of Edwardian botanical gardens: crocuses; irises; tulips; wisteria; magnolia; and endless trees in blossom such as apple, cherry, pear and orange.

"Easter activities this year include an interactive egg trail (£3), feed the bunny and animal dress-up stations between March 23 and April 2 (adults £11, children £5.50; nationaltrust.org.uk)."
