About Cotswold Lavender
The beautiful English Cotswold Hills are
visited by millions of tourists from all over
the world every year, it is here that we grow
and process the lavender plants that go into
our products capturing a little of the essence
of the natural surroundings of our farm.
Why use lavender?
Used for over 2000 years lavender oil is a proven
antiseptic and anti inflammatory, it also works as
a mosquito repellant. Research has also shown
lavender helps insomnia, anxiety, depression and
restlessness in many cases.
Cotswold Lavender started out in 1999 with just a
few plants. The lavender loves the free draining
limestone soils 1000 feet above sea level giving the
best growing conditions for the best quality English
Lavender Essential oils.
The lavender has thrived here and we have kept
planting more every year. Now we have over 40
different varieties, some 230 kilometers of rows and
over 500,000 plants in total.
At the peak of the summer sunshine the lavender is
harvested and distilled using traditional methods
then is aged for a year before being used.
