Running up until September 22, the apple orchard will offer a variety of apples to pick, from Cox Apples to Bramley Apples, with ready picked Pears and Cobnuts also available.

The orchard is a popular attraction on Instagram, with the hashtag #castlefarmapples being used hundreds of times by Instagrammers sharing shots of ripened apples.

The farm is also famous for being the only commercial grower of the rare Norfolk Royal Apple, often referred to as a dessert apple and usually found in the North Downs.

Due to its bright red colour it is often referred to as the ‘Disney Snow White Apple’, but unlike the one given to Snow White this apple is sweet in taste and best eaten straight from the tree.
