How to Find the Orchard

If you’ve not visited the orchard before, here’s a location map.

Orchard Guide

You can download the orchard guide PDF here: Orchard Guide PDF Verson 1.0

This contains a list of all of the trees and varieties in the orchard, plus useful information regarding varieties and when they are in season. It also includes a smaller version of the location map mentioned above.

Orchard Management Plan

Thanks to the Derbyshire Wildlife trust, we have a management plan for maintaining the diversity of  the wildlife in the orchard, while hoping to keep the orchard as productive and pleasant for visitors as possible. It contains a wealth of information regarding the biodiversity of the site, and gives practical pointers for the future. You can download it here.

Botanical Survey

In July, 2007, local botanist John Hawksford kindly agreed to perform a botanical survey on the orchard site. Here is his report: Botanical Survey (900kb PDF file)
