Our Weekend: Mayfield Lavender Farm

During our honeymoon road trip around France we were lucky enough to stop of at a couple of gorgeous Lavender Farms and now the smell of Lavender instantly takes me back to those special couple of weeks.

Last weekend we decided to pay Mayfield Lavender Farm a visit and I am so glad we did, once there we could quite easily been right back in Provence.

We got up early to make sure we missed the forecasted showers and were rewarded with beautiful a blue sky interrupted only by the odd perfectly fluffy white cloud.

We were greeted by a concentrated waft of lavender and, possibly, the friendliest car park attendant who instructed us to make sure we ventured up to the back field as it was blooming…and he wasn't wrong.

As you walk towards the second field you can hear the intensity of an odd buzzing growing.  Its only when you arrive there you realise it is the collective hum of millions of bees.  Thankfully they were to interested in the tasty lavender to bother us!

If you do pop along I can highly recommend the lavender lemonade…delicious!  We'll definitely be back.

  1. We went to a lavender farm a few weeks ago- they are just beautiful aren't they? We want to make it a yearly tradition now to go and take photos in them- well for as long as my kids will allow that. ;)

    1. They are beautiful, I'd love to make it a yearly tradition also…would love it to be in Provence every year, but Surrey is probably more realistic!
