I spent an enjoyable couple of hours at the Blackmoor estate’s
apple day today – and going by the crowds, the good old British apple is still
much loved!
I am going to let a few pictures describe the day – from the
apple point of view anyway – there was much, much more to see alongside apples!
It is great that farmers such as William Wolmer are prepared
to hold days like this – not only encouraging folk to buy British, but also
introducing them to the wonderfully delicious taste of “old varieties”- which
of course will go a long way in helping to save them for future generations
to enjoy too!

Don't you just love some of the names of these old apple varieties!

Blackmoor Estate is a fantastic environmentally friendly estate. they have lots of wild flower margins which are a haven for wildlife and invetebrates. they help to buffer the important Woolmer Forest heathland SSSI/SAC/SPA area even helping to restore a small area of heathland then selves.
