The lavender farm at Norfolk is the largest in the UK. It manufacturers many products of lavender including cosmetics to food mixed with lavender. My visit to the farm was towards the latter end of the farming season.
But there are so many things to enjoy and watch in the surroundings. The lavender gift shop was my port of call as lavender is one of my favourite fragrances. The adjoining farm shop called Walsingham had a wide array of local farm products ranging from vegetables, fruits and frozen foods.The former lavender machinary and the old mill house can also be seen. All in all it was a visit well worth making.
The Titchwell RSBP is another lovely place to visit. Here we spotted many birds even though it was a bit difficult to film but thoroughly enjoyed the nature walk and the bird calls.

Norfolk Lavender is a very popular tourist attraction during the lavender growing and harvesting season -- May to September. The heady lavender scent drifts in the air for miles around. From the visitors centre at Heacham, the national lavender collection can be viewed, along with a herb garden and fragrant meadow
English Lavender (lavender grown in England) is world renowned for its fragrance. Norfolk Lavender is the preeminent English Lavender farm, making lavender products,lavender toiletries and gifts of outstanding quality from the lavender grown and distilled by the farm.
Founded in 1932 Norfolk Lavender is England's Premier Lavender Farm.
Their Lavender products and toiletries are made from the essential oil and lavender flowers from 5 different varieties, of which 4 have been developed by and are unique to them and blended to an 18th century formula or 'receipt' to recreate the fragrance of the living flower and bring you products of quality and purity.
Now the pesticide free lavender is harvested by a specially developed machine, and the essential oil is extracted from the flowers in the traditional way in a distillery.
After the essential oil has been extracted in the distillery, the lavender oil is made into Norfolk Lavender products, the most extensive range of English Lavender products available, coming to you from the farm. Lavender products for bath,body,cupboards and drawers, home fragance, scented candles, and gifts.
These products are made without Sodium lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLS ) or Parabens.

That was very interesting tour into the Norfolk area & RSPB Nature Reserve...I can only imagine the fragrances that you can feel around this area. It was very interesting to see what is involved in producing all these wonderful products and also to see that the wind mills are catching up all over the world.
