Cider Pressing at Bowhayes Orchards

Bowhayes Orchards run open press weekends through October. Bring windfalls of your own or simply come to taste — the rack-and-cloth press is a quietly hypnotic thing to watch.

Pair it with a morning at Otter Valley Ice Cream & Field Kitchen in Monkton, and finish at The Golden Lion in Tipton St John.
