Orchard in Spring

Spring Apple Blossom in Kent

On Saturday some friends and I joined the Greensand Way for a 4 mile walk near the village of Pluckley in Kent. Pluckley is said to be the most haunted village in Britain although I think you’d have to spend a bit more time there than we did to experience that pleasure. Our walk took us through blossoming orchards and woods carpeted with bluebells to the ruins of St Mary’s church, a perfect spot for lunch.

Kent Apples

apple orchard in autumn

This week I went for an autumn walk in the Kent countryside with friends. We passed several apple orchards, some still working and some past their prime. It was a beautiful afternoon with spectacular views over the misty countryside dotted with oast houses and autumnal trees.
