What is there to do at Sheppy’s Cider Farm and Museum?
They are a family-run farm and they have been crafting premium award-winning craft ciders for over 200 years. This makes them one of the oldest independent cider makers in the world. You are able to visit them for a day out and there are signed walks around the orchards. Their walks take you past the children’s playground, duck pond and cider production area.
There are also animals, you can see including goats, donkeys, cows and chickens. Throughout the year they offer different nature trails for families. These often involve extra activities such as crafts.
At weekends they host tours where you can take a look behind the scenes. Each tour includes a visit to the orchards, the press house, the vat house and Sheppy’s rural life museum. This culminates with a guided tasting of some of their best-loved ciders.
