Visitors joined in the longest apple peel competition and enjoyed tours of the gardens the apples grow.

Patrick Saunders, head gardener at site, said: "We have many different types of apples growing in our orchard including Cornish varieties, maybe some varieties people haven't tried. Orchards support a wide range of wildlife from birds to several hundred species of invertebrates and numerous types of fungi."
