Shropshire Tourist Information and Visitor Guide

Attingham Park

Attingham Park has 130 traditional fruit trees with 37 apple varieties - some of the oldest such as the Worcester Russet and Grenadier dating as far back as the 1850s.

Visitors will be able to see Attingham’s own apple press in action and will be able to purchase freshly pressed apple juice. The press, made from English green oak, was specially commissioned and funded by money raised at the second-hand book shop.

There will also be a display of apples in the bothy and a volunteer will be talking to people about the different varieties. Visitors will be able to take the opportunity to walk through the Walled Garden and see the progress being made with its restoration.

Local producers including Mahorall Farm cider will be selling their goods and there will also be toffee apples, chutneys, apple preserves, pickles and Shropshire honey for sale. Plants and vegetable boxes will also be available to buy.

Events and Engagement Officer Becci Sayer said: “Come and enjoy a lovely Autumnal day out with us here at Attingham.”

The National Trust tea-room will have a variety of apple-themed dishes.

Visitors can enjoy demonstrations of wood turning and carving as well as basket weaving.

The activities will take place from 10am to 4pm. Normal admission charges to the property will apply.
