The Daffodil Weekend and Spring Fayre is a popular event in the local community, with many visitors coming from across the region to enjoy the beautiful wild daffodils and support local events.
The weekend is also an important fundraiser for the parish hall, helping to maintain the facility and provide a space for community events.
Visitors are encouraged to go along, enjoy the spring weather, and take in the beauty of the wild daffodils while supporting the local community.
Wild daffodils were restored to the Golden Triangle between 2007 and 2012 by local volunteer group Dymock Forest Rural Action (DyFRA), having been lost from the area for many years due to the loss of ancient woodland and changing agricultural practices.
The volunteers continue to manage the area surrounding the Dafodil Way national trail for the benefit of the local community and visitors, together with Forestry England.
Chris Bligh of DyFRA said: “The area straddling the M50 at junction 3 showcases the collective hard work throughout the year of volunteers, countryside contractors and Forestry England.
“Ten years of their careful management sees the full return of the wild daffodil populations in the ‘conservation road verges’ through all the lanes of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire border country.”
