Where to find the best lavender fields in the UK
The UK's lavender fields are in full bloom. Right until September, you can catch a glimpse of the blossoming lilac delights around the country. From rolling lavender fields in Surrey, to rivers of beautiful purple in Hampshire, there are plenty of places to see – and smell – the stunning sights.
Wonderfully, too, many of the lavender farms produce their own sustainable goods. From lavender-infused creams, to oils and jams, don't leave without a peruse around the family-run stores and cafes (and make sure to leave room for the homemade cakes).
Take a look at some of the best lavender fields to visit in the UK...1. Cotswold Lavender, Cotswold Hill
Open until 4th August, this beautiful blooming lavender field is a must-visit for everyone. This stunning farm starts to bloom mid-June, continuing until August.

Top tip: the farm is incredibly busy on the weekends, so try to visit during the week if you can. While picnics aren't permitted anywhere on the farm, the on-site cafe is worth trying out (especially the lavender cider).
