The largest Mayfield Lavender Farm in the UK is a famous lavender attraction located in the southeast of the country, renowned for its vast lavender flower fields and abundant lavender products. The estate is located on the hills of North Surrey, not far from London, at 1 Carshalton Road, Banstead SM7 3JA. The estate covers an area of 25 acres and is one of the largest organic lavender estates in the UK. Founded by Brendan Mayer, who was the former CEO of Procter&Gamble’s fragrance division and has a deep interest and passion for lavender cultivation. Britain was the world’s largest producer of lavender from 1700 to 1910, but lavender fields gradually disappeared due to urban expansion. Brendan Mayer hopes to revive the tradition of lavender cultivation in the UK and began planting lavender at Mayfield Estate in 2002. The estate went through multiple attempts and setbacks, ultimately successfully planting multiple lavender varieties such as Folgate, Maillette, and Grosso, and developing into its current scale. From June to September every year, the lavender in the estate blooms, forming a spectacular sea of purple flowers. The estate offers activities such as lavender field tours and lavender picking experiences, where visitors can stroll and experience the charm of lavender firsthand. There are small shops in the manor selling various lavender products, including lavender essential oil, skin care products, Dim sum, decorations, etc. These products are loved by tourists for their high quality and unique fragrance experience. The estate also operates a cute small caf é, offering specialty foods such as lavender tea, lavender cake, and lavender biscuits, allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful scenery while also tasting delicious food.
