Bridestowe Estate is one of Tasmania's icons. Rich in history, and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, Bridestowe we had been told was a "must see". Sure enough the surrounding countryside en route to Bridestowe is beautiful and reminiscent of Devon in many ways, green rolling hills, sheep and horses grazing, winding country roads - the journey was lovely however, it wasn't until we arrived at the Estate that we found out that lavender blooms in December and this was the 17th November!! So whilst we got to see row upon row of lovely compact lavender it wasn't in bloom which was a real shame because pictures and photos in the Gift shop show how beautiful the place is when the vast, vibrant purple flowers are in full bloom.
We could not be disappointed though as the views were still worth the trip and the shortbread and cakes (made using lavender oil!), were delicious!!!!
