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.
