PLEASE NOTE WE CLOSE PROMPTLY AT 4.30 pm ( last entrance is 3.30pm) and we are closed all day every Monday and Tuesday

Please be aware this is a working field, with rabbits and moles etc, so the ground is uneven in places and in wet weather the grass maybe slippery, please wear appropriate shoes/ boots.

Children must be supervised at all times, as the lavender plants get damaged if they are jumped on! this is bad for the plants and spoils it for others too.

There are only grass paths around the field, so be aware if using a wheelchair or pushchairs, however the lavender can be viewed from all areas fairly easily, the field is a short walk from the car parking area, so should be accessible for those with limited mobility.

We share the lavender with lots of wildlife, particularly bees, so do take care, and full responsibility of yourselves if you are walking close to the lavender and touching it!

We do NOT allow picking of the lavender, but there will be lavender bunches for sale, subject to availability on the day.

Please respect the privacy of our neighbours and do not go too close to the back boundary of the field

The Lavender Cafe … please see separate page

Our pond has deep water so please keep children under close supervision at all times . NO SWIMMING or paddling is permitted, it is for wildlife only!
