I'm unsure what type of tree this is, probably some variety of apple, but its overripe fruits were still on the tree at the start of a new year.
Astbury Mere Country Park

The mere is a flooded sand pit on the southern outskirts of Congleton, formerly known as Windy Bank Quarry. Quarrying of silica sand continued from the 1930s to 1984, after which it became a community-run leisure amenity. There is a 1.6km (1 mile) path around its perimeter, car parks at north and south sides, and an outdoor sports centre. See the website astburymerecountrypark.uk for a more detailed history.
