Colwall Orchard Group

Brookmead
Old Church Road, Colwall
Malvern WR13 6HB

We have a wonderfully diverse set of orchards in Colwall ranging from traditional farmstead and garden orchards to the last remnant orchards of the former commercial fruit enterprise in the village.

Colwall Orchard Group has been sharing our enthusiasm for orchards with as many people as possible.  We’ve run children’s orchard art projects and many public events including the Blossom picnic, poetry workshops, Dawn Chorus rambles, fungus forays, bug hunts and moth nights.  We have started up our own village mistletoe fair and a Colwall Wassail.  We have also raised the profile of our orchards in local, regional and national newspapers and journals.

We are always looking for new members and volunteers. Come and see what we do!

Colwall Village Garden

Colwall Village Garden is our flagship site that we purchased in 2011.

The six acre site located in Old Church Road, Colwall hosts a community orchard with 250 trees, a recently restored vernacular apple packing shed, compost toilet, 60 allotment plots for rent at reasonable rates, and a wildlife pond.

You are welcome to visit the site and there is on site parking for cars and bicycles available.

Lugg's Mill

Lugg's Mill was our second site acquisition, purchased in 2016.

The 2.5 acre site is also located in Old Church Road, Colwall-  a short walk from Colwall Village Garden. 

This attractive piece of land was the site of a former water- powered corn mill in the 19th century, and the stream that previously supplied the mill with water dissects the site in two.

We have planted up the site with a new cherry orchard to one half and a new apple orchard in the other half.

You are welcome to walk around the land and a public footpath crosses the site. Parking is on a layby by the entrance to the site on Old Church Road.
