Butterflies of Croome

Most National Trust properties are rich in butterflies during the summer months. Unlike birds that have breeding plumage, there are no seasonal variations in the butterflies throughout the year, apart from some second broods looking a bit more vibrant. However, as the year progresses butterflies will start to fade and some can end up looking quite tired and tatty.

There are plenty of butterflies at Croome in the summer months. They can be found on flowerbeds near the Temple Greenhouse, in the formal shrubbery and hedgerows. However, the best places to see them are the meadows and on brambles.
