Our Apple tree is many years old but last year it started to go brown on some branches, like it had been in a fire. We cut those bits off and got apples so thought all was fine. This year the tree has been in full blossom and looked beautiful but now the branches have started to go brown again. I have got pictures of it but don't know how to attach them from my iPad. Any idea what the problem is and how to rectify it?

Sounds like a fungus infection - feed the tree by clearing any grass/weeds around it as far out as the branches go, then put on a mulch of FYM - a healthy tree is more able to look after itself.
I believe you need to get a few more posts in your name before you can load photos on here. -
Welcome Maisie, you will have to make more posts before you can post any photos, regarding you tree, old trees can and do have bits of die back, so it may not be terminal, but the advice above is a great way to start.Comment

By the sounds of it, it's probably fire blight.
