A Sea of Purple at Yorkshire Lavender
When we visited Yorkshire Lavender, the lavender was in full bloom, creating a sea of purple across the hillside. One of the highlights was the lavender maze, with rows of plants packed closely together and paths winding their way through the flowers. Once we’d reached the centre and found our way back out again, my coat smelled really strongly of lavender which was nice.
The bees seemed to agree that the lavender was worth visiting, too. There were plenty of them buzzing from flower to flower as we wandered through the gardens.
Afterwards, we stopped at the tearoom and decided to try a lavender scone. I wasn't sure whether I'd like it, as I imagined the lavender might be quite strong, but it wasn't as perfumed as I'd expected, and it turned out to be a lovely way to finish our visit.
