There are supermarket apples and then there are Fowlescombe Farm apples, plucked from 16th-century orchards planted to accompany the 450-acre regenerative farm’s manor house — built in 1537. In September and October hotel guests can help themselves to a selection of ripe fruit, which estate executive chef Elly Wentworth will whip up into dishes like Devon apple cake and baked apple compote. There may even be an appletini or cider too, for the grown-ups; meanwhile, any kiddos can decorate their own toffee apples. But, whatever your age, you can also collect some for feeding to the adorable Tamworth pigs.
