Yorkshire Lavender is a hillside
farm near to the village on Terrington in North Yorkshire, covering 60 acres of
gorgeous gardens and lavender fields.
The lavender maze has an impressive
amount of lavender bushes, all tightly packed together in a sea of purple with
paths running between the flowers for you to follow and find your way to the
middle. 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 particularly liked the lavender and there were lots buzzing about as we walked round.
Admission to the gardens is £3.50
for adults, and £2.00 for children, although they are free to visit in March, April
and September when the lavender isn’t fully out. The best time to visit is
during the summer months. In the tea room, we decided to get a lavender scone
to share because I wasn’t sure I would like it. The scones weren’t too perfumed
at all like I had expected – delicious scones with just a hint of lavender, I
even bought some to take home.
