Visit to a Lavender Farm

This was "Wolds View" Lavender Farm. Please forgive the quality of the photos - it was a dull day and I had forgot my camera - so these were taken on a friend's mobile phone.

A huge 'walk-in' Bee hive !



A few thousand very busy in-mates -



50 shades of Lavender -



This little train is used at harvest time as well as to take people on a tour of the Lavender fields -

Re: Visit to a Lavender Farm

Lovely, Tabs.
I went to a Norfolk lavender farm last year, but it was later in the year and the lavenders had all but come to an end blooming. Looks like you timed your visit better than I did.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Re: Visit to a Lavender Farm

Lovely! Reminds me when I went last year with my sister and her family. It was at the end of the season so our admission was halved, I think. All the sunflowers had finished.

The aroma was wonderful. It's one of my favourite smells.

Re: Visit to a Lavender Farm

The 'Yorkshire Lavender' farm at Terrington is much bigger than the 'Wolds Way' Primus - but I just love both of them. Was totally fascinated being able to watch the bees in their hive.

That is so sad - I love being with bees - they are so friendly and wonderful.
