Hidcote and Snowshill Lavender fields 2012

The National Trust page for Hidcote says "Nestled in the Cotswolds with sweeping views across the Vale of Evesham, a visit to Hidcote is inspirational at any time of year." They are right, it's wonderful. Visited on 11th August 2012 then drove back to Cheltenham via the Snowshill Lavender fields, also pretty breathtaking in more ways than one!
