How to get to the Cotswold Lavender Farm

Cotswold Lavender Farm is two miles south of the village of Broadway.

There are brown tourist attraction signs surrounding the farm, however, if you use a Sat Nav, it will deliver you to the gates of the farm.

There is a one-way system in operation and if you are travelling by car you will need some change for the car park.

If you are travelling by train, you will need to depart at Moreton in Marsh. You will need to grab a taxi, but they will be in high demand, so pre-booking is essential!
