Beauty spot Hitchin Lavender tops prestigious Instagrammed poll

Everyone in our area knows the site at Hitchin Lavender is a stunning location - and now it seems, so does the rest of the country.

In a study conducted by Flying Flowers to find the most Instagrammed floral location in the UK, Hitchin Lavender came out on top.

Hitchin Lavender topped the list with 25,965 hashtags, beating Rhossili Bay's 24,233 hashtags and Confetti Fields' 12,343 hashtags.

As Hitchin Nub News recently reported, the much-loved farm re-opened earlier this month. The site on Ickleford Road posted this week: "Beautiful start to summer on the farm."

While researchers Flying Flowers added: "The lavender fields at Hitchin Lavender are loved by photographers and Instagrammers alike due to their sheer scale and beauty.

"The lavender grows within a family-owned farm where the fragrant flowers are used to create products from gin to marmalade and soap."
