Enjoying a South West Delicacy

Our first stop is Myrtle Farm: home to one of the most popular cider brands in the country. Here you'll get the chance to learn more about how Thatcher's craft their nationally-loved ciders from their Myrtle Farm base. You'll also be able to sample a few of their limited edition ciders for yourself.
Their tours start at 11am and 2pm and last approximately 2 hours. Note that the tours are only available from Wednesday to Saturday.
Make sure you book in advance, because the tours tend to sell out.

Continuing the cider theme, you're just a short drive away from this country pub and restaurant in the nearby village of Highbridge. They have a traditional British menu alongside a range of local and imported beers and ciders. Cheers!

Rich's Cider is a much more local cider brand than Thatcher's, and their headquarters are located right beside The Cider Press. There are no guided tours here, but if you're lucky you might catch them pressing apples in the autumn! Feel free to explore their beautiful farm, which has an on-site restaurant, shop and children's play area.
Opening Hours Monday - Saturday: 9am - 6pm Sunday: 10am - 6pm

The village of Cannington lies conveniently on the doorstep of the Quantock Hills, which is where you'll be exploring tomorrow. For now though, it's time to check-in, drop your bags off, rest and recharge.

As the name suggests, The Friendly Spirit is a quaint village pub offering a wide selection of real ales and great grub. It's the perfect place to relax after a long day.

This quirkily-decorated pub has a friendly atmosphere and truly local feel to it. It's a classic village pub and atypical of this part of the world.
