Sunflower Fields at Cotswold Farm Park: A Golden Summer Escape

If you're looking for the perfect countryside escape this summer, look no further than the stunning sunflower fields at Cotswold Farm Park. Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, this picturesque destination bursts into golden bloom every August—drawing visitors from all over the UK to wander, snap, and soak in the sun-drenched beauty.

Every year, the team at Cotswold Farm Park cultivates a spectacular sunflower meadow, covering the landscape in vibrant yellow blooms. Whether you're a budding photographer, a family looking for a fun day out, or simply a flower lover, these fields offer a dreamlike setting for unforgettable summer memories.

With winding pathways cut through the sunflower rows, visitors can stroll at their leisure, lose themselves in nature, and snap that perfect photo. The flowers are often taller than most guests—creating a magical, immersive experience (and plenty of Instagram-worthy moments!).

Pick Your Own Sunflowers

One of the highlights? You can pick your own sunflowers to take home. Armed with a pair of snips and a bucket, guests are invited to select their favourite blooms straight from the field. It’s a beautiful way to bring a little sunshine back with you—whether as a thoughtful gift or a cheerful centrepiece for your kitchen table.
