Sheppy’s Cider Guided Tour & Tasting

Day 1

Departing the local area, we make our way south with a lunch stop on route, arriving at the 3* Northfield Hotel with time to settle in before dinner. The hotel is located on the lower slopes of North Hill in Minehead, in nearly 2 acres of landscaped gardens reputed to have been laid out by Gertrude Jekyll. There are wonderful views from the elevated position: from the coast to the Quantocks, Brendon Hills, and indeed Exmoor itself.

Day 2

Today we make our way across Exmoor National Park to the twin villages of Lynton & Lynmouth, connected by the cliff railway, the highest and steepest fully water powered Victorian railway in the world. Picturesque Lynmouth has rows of charming fishing cottages and shops clustered around the harbour, with the Victorian village of Lynmouth perched high on the cliff above.
