It was an hour's drive to Lifton to Strawberry Fields, but well worth it. We had tickets for 11 am when they opened the Tulip Fest but as we got there early we walked around the farm shop and bought cake to eat with our coffee.
There are a few animals in fields, some gooat and a couple of highland cattle.
When we entered the tulip area there was a courtyard with mock up houses, central beds, food kiosks and a dutch organ playing.
It was colourful but nothing as spectacular as the tulip fields. There was every colour of tulip, with paths between the beds and various objects scattered around to make photos more interesting. There were platforms that you could climb up to see the tulips from above. Some of the tulips were finished but there were still many to see
I have often thought I would like to go to Holland to see the tulip fields, but now if is not necessary. Apparently half a million bulbs had been planted and it was only a small area so it was really beautiful.
