Description
Orchards used to be a common and valued part of the Yorkshire countryside, important for both food supplies and wildlife. However, over the past few decades, many orchards have been lost, along with many local varieties of fruit. This booklet, based on papers delivered at a conference in Harrogate, celebrates Yorkshire’s orchard heritage and shows some of the ways orchards are now being appreciated and put to new uses.
