Sunflower fields in the UK?

DemiDee

Hello all

Maybe not quite the thread for a rainy UK readership, but I really want to find a sunflower field here in the UK. I know that there was one in Kineton, Warwickshire, but due to the UK weather, that is no more. Does anyone know of any sunflower fields in any part of the UK, and at what month they are in full bloom?

If not then does anyone here know of any sunflower fields abroad, and if so, whereabouts?

Many thanks all!

Just found out that Crealy got rid of its sunflower field in order to build a massive roller coaster on the land. What a shame!

That is fabulous, Lotus! Thank you so much! Have just called and the sunflowers are just appearing, but I only have a two week window and then they're gone... and there's apparently far less of 'em than those displayed on the website...just about a quarter of an acre, whatever that amount to.

There were plenty to be seen when we were on holiday in France last week. There were so many that it couldn't be for their flowers but for oil or some other product.

Not sure if there this year, but was one near Clanfield / East Meon, Hampshire, last year, near here http://www.sustainability-centre.org/
