The warm weather months in Pennsylvania mean longer, sunnier days, and endless fields of colorful flowers – from wildflowers to lavender. It’s also the perfect time to hit the highway on a relaxing road trip that will take you to five of the most eye-popping lavender fields in Pennsylvania. You could do the road trip in a single day. However, if you’re up for a relaxing few days, you might want to check into an adorable bed and breakfast that’s right along the route.
Here are the Google Maps directions for this road trip. You can easily customize the directions to meet your needs and your interests.
Note: Always confirm that the destinations are open and double-check their hours before hitting the road.
Let's kick off our road trip with a visit to Quiet Hills Lavender Farm in Palmerton. Stroll through the fields that boast rows and rows of vibrant lavender, then stop by The Lavender Shed, the farm's shop. There, you'll find a selection of lavender-related products, including gifts.

With a field of more than 3,000 lavender plants, Peace Valley Lavender Farm offers breathtaking views and the perfect backdrop to snap photos or selfies. The lavender farm is open all year round and offers free guided tours for groups of 10 or more. If you want to pick up fresh lavender, however, you'll definitely want to visit between April and June.

Now's the perfect time for a delicious meal and a good night's sleep at the charming Duling-Kurtz House & Country Inn. The darling inn features a restaurant that dishes up such favorites as New York strip steak, chicken, and beef short ribs.
