THE COTSWOLD LAVENDER FIELDS- Snowshill -Cotswolds UK








Just a short drive from Broadway in the Cotswolds, near to Evesham, is Snowshill Village, which has the Cotswold lavender fields very close by. In fact before you see them, you can smell the lavender in the air!
Seeing such a brilliant lilac colour over so many fields is really spectacular.
The entrance fee of £2.50 is well worth it to walk around the fields and take in the scent of the various varieties of Lavenders they grow. During August they harvest the flowers to make a big range of Lavender products to sell either in their gift shop or online. From soaps to creams and oils to lavender bags. Also they sell small plants of the different types they grow.
So you can take home a few to start your own fields at home!!
Best time of year to visit is between mid to late July when the flowers are fully open.
