Nestled high on the hills above Builth Wells, Mid-Wales, the FARMERS’ Welsh Lavender farm is a beautifully scenic and uniquely immersive destination. At an elevation of approximately 1,100 feet, the site offers sweeping views across the Welsh countryside. Below the lavender bank lies a wild-swimming pond, and a sauna is available to hire.
The farm not only grows the lavender but also distils its own essential oil on-site, which then features in the FARMERS’ brand of body-care products (creams, balms, washes) that you can purchase in the shop on-site or at their shop in the centre of Hay. There is also a cafe on site.
Admission fee applies to visit the lavender field, picnic in the grounds, wild swim in the pond and to use the Sauna.
Dogs welcome.
