On the inside of the elbow of the lane, opposite the spur that leads off to the Dee Valley Water plant which is visited by very wide trucks that barely fit down the lane (one of them made me squash myself into the hedge today), is Apple Corner. Scattered on the ground, pretty much all year round, are small apples. The fact that no one or no thing collects them suggests to me that they don't taste great. Or they're poisonous. I haven't attempted to find out.
As you can see from the first photo, the tree that the apples have fallen from is almost entirely covered in ivy. In the spring, when the tree's own leaves reappear, it will be an opportunity to understand the tree further.
