Dist:0.1km<br/>Brogdale Farm is home to the National Fruit Collection http://www.brogdale.org/ - the largest collection of fruit varieties on one site in the world. They have over 2,300 varieties of apple, 550 of pear, 350 of plum and 220 of cherry along with a large collection of soft fruits, nuts and vines. This weekend was "Apple Days", which means you have to pay to get in, so I didn't go further than the shop.
