After a delightful walk through the gardens with dear friends, we arrived at the old apple orchard in Trelissick. This orchard used to be known as the ‘fruit garden of Cornwall’ and contains 70 different varieties, almost all Cornish. There were so many windfalls and we tasted a few, leaving the rest for the squirrels. My favourite to taste was Collogget Pippin, crisp and juicy. We weren’t really scrumping but told tales of doing so many years ago! Click on the red link to find out more.
Tree hugging was also on our tour. All four of us couldn’t quite link up, needing a LiveWire to fill the gap but, sadly, none of us had one with us. 
In the garden centre section of the shop there were beautifully painted signs.
