The lavender and nature farm is located between Malton and Scarborough and took us an hour to get there from Willerby. We went a few years ago but it has had so much added to it in recent years, you can easily spend a full day there.
It’s a perfect day out for grandparents too, we took my mum and all 3 generations really enjoyed it – she commented on how many benches there were for her to sit on while the kids played and how safe she felt with them there.
Its suitable for all ages of children, my 10 and 13 year olds had a great time and there was lots for them to do (so a good one if you have older kids) but there were also tots and little ones enjoying it. My kids played together today; after a few weeks of school holiday bickering they’ve had a good day out together and come back friends.
There are nature trails, gardens, play areas, mazes and so many different games and activities, all based in nature and in such a beautiful setting amongst the lavender fields. It felt peaceful and we also learned a lot, it’s just a lovely place to spend a day together.
My kids literally ran straight to the footgolf as they remembered that as their favourite thing from last time, they also loved the foot-pool. We spent ages in the willow maze games, the dino maze and the miniature train was also a hit. There is a new sand and water play area which they were a bit old for but there were lots of younger children having a lot of fun in there.
For Summer they have an activity booklet to complete the trails in and an extra butterfly trail to do too.
I thought it was really good value for money for a full day out, its cheaper if you book online in advance (children £10, adults £11) but you can buy tickets on the door for £2 more. Its open daily until 8th September and would make a great day out for this second half of the summer school holidays!
We did tag on a quick trip to Scarborough afterwards for a paddle and fish and chips, and my mum declared it her best day out ever!
