Orchard Walks

Self-guided Orchard Walks are available all year with a valid orchard Pass,  7 days a week from 10am – 4pm

You can purchase your Orchard Pass here or from the Tiddly Pomme shop when you arrive.

Guided Tours run at weekends during fruit season from June to end of October with the exception of event weekends.  ‘Walks with the Experts’ are available mid-week twice a month.  You can visit us for a Self-guided Walk of the Brogdale Orchards all year round – however, to access the National Fruit Collection you need to go on a Guided Tour or Walk with an Expert.  An Orchard Pass gives you year-round access to the Brogdale Collections Orchards for Self-guided Walks, access to the National Fruit Collection with Guided Tours and free entry to PYO weekends. Alternatively you can buy a Day Pass at the Tiddly Pomme shop (Tuesday-Sunday). A knowledgeable guide will lead you through the orchards at Brogdale and the National Fruit Collection. Learn all about the history of the National Fruit Collection, the rare and usual heritage varieties here, the history of fruit farming in Kent and in season, taste the fruit.

You can pre book a guided tour here

Alternatively, explore the orchards at your own pace with a self-guided walk, take your time to wander the Brogdale pathways all year from budding blossom to fruit harvest, the whole cycle is a sight to see. 

When visiting please always visit the Tiddly Pomme shop before you enter the orchards as we need to keep you updated with spraying and safety in the orchards. You can also pick up your self-guided walk map.

Your orchard pass does not include entry on events or festival days so please check before visiting.

Dogs are strictly not allowed to enter the orchards at any time.

With your Orchard Pass you can spend as much time as you want wandering the Brogdale pathways & orchards at your own pace all year round. (picking the fruit is not permitted on a self guided walk).
