Brogdale is home to the National Fruit Collections, the largest collection of varieties of fruit trees in the world. Over 2,300 different varieties of apple, 550 of pear, 350 of plum, 220 of cherry, 320 varieties of bush fruits, as well as smaller collections of nuts & vines are grown here in 150 acres of beautiful orchards. Spectacular in blossom time, the orchards are also at their best in late summer & autumn, when the ripe fruit is ready for picking.

From the quite amazingly ugly 'Knobby Russet' apple, to the ancient 'Decio' variety which the Romans would have known, the Collections at Brogdale incorporate both traditional and new fruit varieties. Also a host of less well known fruits, such as the fragrant medlars & quinces, much beloved of the Victorians.
