Norfolk Lavender -- perfumes from plants! Much agriculture may smell of pig muck, but not this sector of the industry. Norfolk Lavender has 100 acres under cultivation in north-west Norfolk with the factory (and visitor's centre, and gift shop, and tearoom) being in the eastern outskirts of Heacham.
Drove Orchards -- quite apart from the orchards with over 150 varieties of apples, there's a big farm shop on the A149 (the coast road) between Holme and Thornham. There's a map on the their website, on the "contact us" page instead of the "visit our shop" page. This webmaster owns a TomTom satnav: try 52.95896°N, 0.56119°E.

As for the airstrip ... "If you have the capabilities why don't you visit us by air? First established in 1936 as a base for the Target Towing Aircraft, whose task it was to operate with the Army Anti-Aircraft Gunnery practice group at Weybourne. It was listed as the smallest airfield in the Royal Air Force."
