CIDER MAKING
the FARM MILLS and MUSEUMS

 in Devon, Dorset and Somerset
South West, UK

Visit these farms and see how our oldest natural drink is made and perhaps take a sample. This unique local beverage, sometimes, known as rough or scrumpy, is made naturally from apples grown locally.
Brandy and wine is also made from apples.
You will see how local natural resources are used and protected.
