About this tour

What to expect
This is a self-guided ramble through well-maintained gardens rather than a structured tour. You'll receive an activity sheet on arrival and set your own pace—some visitors tear through in 30 minutes, others spend the whole afternoon. The mazes offer genuine navigation challenges without being brutal, and the lavender section bursts with colour and fragrance during warmer months. Bring sturdy shoes, water, and something to eat if you're staying long. Kids will spend hours in the playground while you sit nearby; prams and strollers handle the terrain comfortably.
Good to know
Fully wheelchair accessible with adapted facilities. Prams and strollers work on all paths. Bring sunscreen and water—there's limited shade in places. Best visited during lavender season (late spring through summer) for the full visual impact. Service animals welcome.
