Our Retreats Holiday Extras


Cider Tasting

Nothing symbolises Somerset more than its apples where the best cider and apple juices in the country are made. No trip to Somerset is complete without a tour and tasting session at the home of The Orchard Pig ciders and apple juices.

Come and spend a couple of hours in the magnificent orchards at West Bradley (located close to properties) with one of the Orchard Pig guides who will give you an informative and entertaining outing.

The tours will include all aspects of cider and apple juice production, processes and manufacture.

You will have plenty of time to ask questions on all aspects of the cider and juice process as well as planting and growing your own fruit. Ideal for all the family.

Please note: The tours can only be arranged through Woodlands Retreats, please contact us to arrange a time and date for your tour that suits you.
