I've always wanted to see a lavender field - an actual grand field with rows and rows of lavenders!
This year I won't make it to Southern France, so I found Mayfield, Cotswold and Hitchin lavender farms.
After some Googling, I settled with Hitchin because of proximity and some photos online.
Hitchin station is just 30 minutes away from London King's Cross. The lavender farm is an £8 taxi ride from the station.
