The Home Farm Orchard can be accessed at both ends. By the entrance to the Patchway car park & on the other side of the road at the tower end of the church a small path leads to the orchard. Another path is near our Fruit Factory, it starts between two large trees near the public toilets opposite Stanmer Tearooms. Please do not help yourself to fruit, and please close the gate.
