See & Do at Lavandula

Slow days, fresh air, and a little something for everyone

Seasonal closure

Reopening 26th December

Wander through lavender fields. Watch the kids giggle as they spot an alpaca in the olive grove. Discover our original 1860s stone buildings, or spend a slow afternoon exploring the Farm Shop.

At Lavandula, every visit is a little different. Some come for the history, others for the coffee or the picnic spots, but all leave feeling like they’ve stepped out of the everyday. Come and experience the rhythm of the farm; unhurried, full of beauty, and grounded in the seasons.
