The apple harvest is well underway at the Ampleforth Abbey orchard with around 70% of the fruit already picked and boxed. Image In England's northernmost commercial orchard, monks still provide the workforce. The 2 hectare orchard contains 2,000 trees and more than 40 varieties of apples. Some of the apples are sold to visitors and others go to make juice and the increasingly popular Ampleforth Cider and Ampleforth Cider Brandy. Local people can also bring their own apples to the cider mill to be juiced. Extracted from the Abbey's website. NB Access to the orchard by prior arrangement.
