I was surprised to see how shiny some of the apples looked on the trees, almost as though someone had been along polishing them!
I went into the shop and saw the girls doing the apple selection where a machine turns and the apples are sorted into size. The gorgeous apple smell really was delicious. The apples were all stacked in fabulous wooden crates.
There were trees laden with quinces and every now and then you could here the sound of the walnuts falling from their tree.
Each year Cross Lanes Fruit Farm runs an Apple Day - this year it is on October 9th. I really recommend you paying a visit. My kids love it and I try to go every year. Free admission and you get to try an amazing selection of apples!
Here are some of my favourite shots of the day:
