There is a cider museum in Hereford with lots of different brands on offer. But more interesting perhaps is the cider trail that they run . This goes round a lot of small traditional mom and pop cider mills locally and you can sup the old varieties including true perry.. Only issue is that someone has to drive.
Really worthwhile because you experience all the different tastes - mass produced cider made from bought in apple juice has little or no taste anyway.
Another visit of interest just outside Falmouth is the Rattler cider mill. The interesting bit ( apart from the 8% stuff which is rather tasty ) is that it is owned and run by the Healey family of Healey 3000 fame. There is a small Healey car museum in the plant. When I asked them how they got the alcohol out of the zero alcohol cider they told me - its never in there! Their zero alcohol cider is just apple juice!
