Somerset Lavender: what you need to know to visit

Nestled in the heart of Somerset, a stone's throw from Bath's bustling charm, lies Somerset Lavender.

This vibrant, family-run farm isn't your average flower field. For four generations, the Green family has poured their hearts (and hands!) into cultivating what is now, over six acres of breath-taking lavender landscapes. But they don't stop at the stunning scenery. By using traditional techniques to distil their lavender into pure essential oils they have also created handcrafted lavender goodies – all available in their charming farm shop.
