About
The Byrd family planted their first lavender at Hill Barn Farm in 2000, and have expanded the planting to 53 acres across nine varieties — Maillette, Folgate, Hidcote and others — making this the largest lavender field in Britain.
Peak flowering runs from late June to mid-July, depending on weather. Outside that fortnight the fields are still beautiful — bare earth in winter, low green in spring, harvest stubble in August — but it is the bloom that draws the visitors.
The Cotswold Guide Top Tips
- Arrive by 10am on bloom-week weekends; the small car park fills quickly and there is no overflow.
- The on-site distillery runs short tours during the season — book at the till on arrival.
In Snowshill
A tiny hilltop hamlet of golden stone above the Vale of Evenlode — and the surprise of England's largest lavender field a mile down the lane.
