The Scents of Summer - Rosemary & Lavender Herb notes Comment from Alison Lugg August 8th, 2006 "I visited in May and was very impressed by the wide range of goods for sale in the shop, especially the herbal lotions and potions. My husband and I then enjoyed a delicous roast dinner in the Bistro which has a varied choice of food on the menu, and was served in clean and spacious surroundings. There is also a outdoor trail which we didn’t do owing to the wet weather. We highly recommend a visit! "	See the full list of coming events at the National Herb Centre
