This is s gorgeous Cider Farm with exquisite ciders and you can book tours of the orchard and farm buildings to see the process. One of our favourite things to do is to climb the picturesque hill with the tree on top to see the orchards from above. There is a wonderful shop full of treats, another great place for presents and treats!

A lovely place for a walk and to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding moors. This is national trust so there is a convenient car park at the bottom. Make sure you're prepared if it has been raining as the hill is quite steep and can be slippy. Definitely worth the climb though, it's our little Glastonbury Tor!
