If you like your cider, you must visit this cyder farm! It's not only a good excuse to go out and…read morestock up on cheap delicious cider, but its a great family day out! For the children theres the animal farm where they can see and pet the animals, and tractor rides around the entire farm, including fascinating tours to show how cider is made including a cider museum and distillery, even a jam kitchen! And for the adults, if the above doesn't interest you enough, there is of course the farm shop which sells over 40 varieties of delicious fruit products, including a wide range of ciders produced at the farm, brandy, fresh jams and fresh pressed apple juice! And if you like to stock up on cider, you'll be doing your wallet a favour too as you can get great deals such as 20 bottles of Cornish Rattler for £19.99! A great save considering they sell single bottles in supermarkets for £2.50+ each! And if like me you have no idea where to start in the farm shop, they have free taste testing stalls, allowing you to taste all of the best selling ciders and wines the farm produces just make sure you don't get too carried away! I would recommend drivers to be limited to only 1 or 2 drinks to taste as some are rather high in alcohol. And of course, if you need a break from all of that, there's a lovely restaurant and cream tea café just next door to the farm shop.

This place was a revelation! I wasn't keen on visiting at first, especially as I don't like cider,…read morebut when we arrived it was completely different to what I was expecting. You can take a tour of the miniature farm, as well as a ride around the fields where you can learn a little bit about the history of cider making. My particular favourite was getting to sample all the different kinds of alcohol and jam that they make (for free!) and I ended up spending quite a lot in the shop on the jam, which I became quite addicted to, and the strawberry wine which made a great present in it's beautiful glass bottle. Definitely worth a visit if you're heading to/from Newquay.

Realised how near the brewery I was when killing time in a local pub. There was a map on the…read morebarmat! So I set off with aforementioned barmat and located the brewery. It did tours, but there was over an hour to wait until the next tour so I decided not to bother. I was about to leave when I noticed a bar, so I wondered in. Turns out the bar is for employees and people taking the tour only, but I could sit there and quaff while I waited to be shown around. Enjoyed the excellent Spriggan Ale and Figgy's brew, which you generally don't see outside the brewery and they are mixed together to make their ale for which pubs can choose the name (such as the Kiddlywink found at Old Ale House). Their beer really is good. You can see why Betty Stogs has won awards. So in the end I had a short tour (it's a small brewery, it only takes 15 minutes) and an hour of drinking either side. Definitely worth the £6.50 I paid. They have a shop too, but beer is a rather heavy souvenir. I'd probably have drunk it on the way home.

Don the bartender was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Tour was great. Quality of the beer is top…read morenotch esp. Betty Stogs & Ginger Tosser. Looking forward to our next trip to the UK so I can share Skinners with my family.
