点评:Norfolk Lavender is on the surface, quite delightful. It has fields of gorgeous looking lavender that you can stride through, taking in the actually stunning sights.
There is a (terribly expensive) farm shop, a decent farm shop that sells lavender everything, a cafe that we didn't use, and - of all things - a pizzeria which... well, it's an artisan pizzeria. You're not getting a margarita or Pepperoni there but quite exotic choices instead. Now I must admit, I loved the Pizza I had but it was oddly empty of customers around the hut. I think whilst pitching artisan flavours is a bold move, I'm not sure the clientele of a lavender pitch are looking for that sort of thing. But I did like the flavours and hope they get more people trying it.
Kids can be entertained by what appeared to be a bouncy trampoline thing near the pizzeria but being an adult, I can't say I tried it.
There were some walking gardens (without lavender) behind the premises and they were quite wonderful but some bits seemed quite rough around the edges.
Finally, they do have a lavender plant shop. We spent a while picking ours out and, despite our best efforts to look after it, it's quite poorly. Better luck next time.
I can say I enjoyed it as did my partner but somehow it felt less than the sum of it's parts. You should definitely do it but keep expectation realistic for what is essentially, a lot of lavender!
翻译:诺福克薰衣草园表面上看起来非常迷人。这里有成片的薰衣草田,景色美不胜收,你可以漫步其中,欣赏令人叹为观止的美景。
这里有一家(价格贵得离谱的)农产品商店,一家不错的、出售各种薰衣草相关产品的农产品商店,一家我们没去的咖啡馆,以及——出乎意料的是——一家披萨店,而且……嗯,是一家手工披萨店。你在这里吃不到玛格丽特披萨或意大利辣香肠披萨,而是一些非常独特的选择。我必须承认,我非常喜欢我点的披萨,但奇怪的是,店里几乎没什么顾客。我觉得,虽然主打手工口味是个大胆的尝试,但我不确定薰衣草园的顾客是否会喜欢这种口味。不过,我确实很喜欢这些披萨的味道,希望他们能吸引更多人来品尝。
披萨店附近似乎有个蹦床之类的东西,孩子们可以在那里玩耍,但作为成年人,我没试过。
庄园后面有一些步行花园(没有薰衣草),景色很美,但有些地方略显粗糙。
最后,他们确实有一家薰衣草植物店。我们花了不少时间挑选,尽管尽力照料,它还是长得不太好。下次再去吧。
我和我的伴侣都挺喜欢这次旅行,但总觉得它整体效果不如预期。你当然应该去看看,但不要抱有过高的期望,毕竟那里到处都是薰衣草!
