SX9687 : Apple tree by Exe Valley Way near Exeter Canal
taken 2 years ago, near to Topsham, Devon, England

Apple tree by Exe Valley Way near Exeter Canal
A tree that has evidently grown from a discarded apple core by the footpath (NCN2); now producing pink blossom, and in the autumn, tart apples.
Exeter Canal
Built in the 1560, this is one of the oldest canals in Britain. It was built to allow the port of Exeter access to the sea, bypassing the Quay downstream at Topsham. Link

Exe Valley Way
A 45 mile walk along the Exe valley. The route from the Exe Estuary to the steeply wooded valleys on Exmoor follows, for the most part, quiet country lanes and footpaths along the Exe valley through Bickleigh, Tiverton and Bampton. Mostly valley scenery, ranging from the broad estuary through pastoral landscapes and narrower, heavily-wooded valleys to open moorland landscapes.
