The old cherry orchard at Goodnestone is looking magnificent at the moment. Full of blossom. It has been preserved, with funding from a variety of sources, to remind us of what orchards used to look like before dwarfing rootstocks and sprays! It's a brilliant idea. Admittedly, a lot of the trees are busted, diseased and of course, unpruned. However, it is a win-win for wildlife and well worth a visit.
