The Orchards

Beauty and Tranquility

Why not grab something delicious from the deli then find a secluded spot to enjoy it?
A walk through our orchards is one of the most picturesque experiences you can have. From the spring as our trees blossom and the apples begin to grow through to October and November when we harvest our apples, each month has its own identity and we love to let our customers experience the seasons with us. The colours are exquisite and the sun shining through the trees is a highly memorable experience.

"Plenty for the kids to do with a play park with a couple of Donkeys next door. A large pond you can walk around with lots of ducks. Lovely orchard walks to stretch your legs and see the many varieties of apples grown and great photo opportunities."

Children's Play Area

Enjoy the perfect combination of watching your children play while you enjoy a coffee or even a cold cider.

Please be aware that we do not allow glass in our orchards. If you have glass you can use one of our picnic benches, by oak tree or in carpark. Or if you want to head into the orchard please ask a member of staff to decant it into plastic.
