in Malvern, Worcestershire, used to be an arable farm, grazing sheep and growing
apples for sale to the thriving Herefordshire cider industry. Today, 45
acres of the old farm are dedicated to orchards which produce enough spare fruit
to sustain a wide range of wildlife. Nearby Tillington Fruit Farm is another
great site for wildlife-watching. | | | Farmlands are brilliant places to watch nature whether

wooded areas. | | | - Farmlands offer amazing opportunities for
wildlife watching. Why not take a few tips from the Nature's Calendar team including
bird watching and deer spotting.
