On our organic 157 acre farm, Newton Court Farm, around 30 acres are cider apple and perry pear orchards. The closest orchard to the Newton Court café, Knowl Orchard is a great place to explore; enjoy the views over to south Shropshire and Clee Hill; run around and breath in the country air; learn about the heritage of orchards, apples and cider making in the county. Our orchard is a home for rabbits and during the Easter holidays a particularly important rabbit stops to visit; The Easter Bunny. This years orchard trail will be a hunt for the easter eggs the Easter Bunny has hidden in the orchard each with a letter on.

The mission is to find the eggs, collect the letters and uncover the Easter related word they spell out. Once you have to word take your trail sheet back to the café and get a chocolatey treat from the counter!

The orchard trail is open from 9am to 4.00pm Monday to Saturday, 9.30am to 3.00pm on Sunday. Trail sheets can be picked up from the counter of the café.
