Lying at the foot of the lower gardens, the orchard provides a harvest of damsons each autumn, which are picked by visitors, or cooked into jams by a local seller.

The trees planted here are of two old varieties, dating from before the 1650s – Shropshire Old Prune, and Old Greengauge (also known as Quetsche d’Alsace).
