Do they not realise that there is a reason high quality streaming developed. Said the man with a Rock and a Snobdeck....Ah well I never claimed to be smart.

Thank you for the pointers to the various cider locations, I look forward to trying them when I get down there (all being well) in Summer.
I never got into beer, going from Cider to cocktails and shorts, then learning about wineand fizz. It feels like another unnecessary restriction on life.
I totally agree with the comments re sugar loaded, apple adjacent fizz being marketed as cider in these modern times, quite horrible and the future of diabetes.
Rhubarb Cider sounds interesting.
Alistair I shall arrange a TM visit and overnighter here I know TBM and Graham would be interested we could tie it in with a river and train trip if it suited folk.

p.s. Still planning the Haynes / Yeovil visit for later in the year or I tie them all together for a two overnighter as people are travelling a bit ?
If anyone is interested in a combined 2 nighter or 1 nighter let me know please and I'll get my arse in gear.

Richard,
I would be interested. What have they done to the cider bar. The benches are gone and there is a real bar not just barrels on sawhorses.
If you visit the cider bar then I suggest a hotel in walking range.
