Lavender Pond Farm, Killingworth

Was a very lovely afternoon spent here. Took the little train ride around the grounds and the young man who drove and narrated simply couldn't have been any nicer! He had a great disposition as did all of the staff we encountered around the grounds and in the shop. Very peaceful surroundings and well worth the trip.

Yoga in the lavender fields was SO perfect on a gorgeous July day with a light breeze! I honestly wondered if it was more of a catchy name to draw you in (a pretty location to do yoga but nothing more), but I'm glad I was wrong. You could absolutely smell the lavender throughout the class, and it was SO lovely. We had a light breeze but I think (especially if you get a spot close to the lavender) you'd be able to smell it even without a breeze. Just remember that bees ADORE lavender, so if that freaks you out, you'll probably want a spot away from the plants. There is plenty of open space. It's a bit of a drive from where I live and for the price of the class, it's not something I'd do weekly, but I would definitely go again. Take time to walk around and check out the grounds and store afterwards!
