We encourage casual and fun family photos and we do not make a charge for this. If you wish to visit our farm for the purposes of wedding photography, model or landscape photography, library photography or portrait photography or any other commercial photography then you will be required to register at our shop and pay a small fee before you commence.

Details are available on this link: Photographers Registration

Our farm has disabled parking close to the entrance (adjacent to the Shop and Café). The ground is reasonably level although there is a coarse covering of gravel on the road surface for cars which is normally manageable with some care. There is also a light covering of pea shingle in the shop area (outdoor) to assist drainage when wet and this is also manageable normally but care is also required as the ground is not totally level. There are no steps to negotiate but there are some short sloping sections to consider.

The surface of the cafe area is short grass.

There is a track around the perimeter of the farm and there is a footpath through the centre of the lavender with a grassed surface.

As the lavender has grown to a large size it does not allow easy wheelchair access between the rows but the cafe is immediately adjacent to the lavender so it is still possible to have a lovely view from there.

In general it is best to consider that it is basically a field that we open seasonally so while we do the best we can to make it accessible, care will be needed as the terrain varies.

Parking is FREE to visitors who have paid the Entrance Fee of £5. Our car park has limited capacity so when it is full we must stop cars from entering. Weekends in July are the busiest time to visit. There can be 5 to 6 times as many people visiting on a weekend than during the week. Unfortunately, there is no local overflow parking available except for the occasional opportunity to use a local club car park when this is not being used for events. If this overflow facility is available then cars will be directed there (There may be an independent charge for parking there). If it is not available then drivers may have to return later when the volume of cars has reduced. Some local business people have also been offering their land for parking at a charge. They operate independently from us. 5.30pm is the last entry time for visitors to our farm and the gate to our farm is locked at 7pm so all cars must have been removed by then to avoid being locked in.

We harvest the farm in 2 halves. The first half is normally in early August but we will keep you updates here.
