This document is as accurate as I can make it, however I accept no liability

The majority of the cider and perry makers listed below welcome visits from
the public and will sell cider to you direct. In fact some of them do not sell
their cider anywhere else other than direct from the cider mill. Please note the
many of the cider makers are also working farmers producing other crops. Some
will have facilities for visitors, others will not. Opening hours will vary
throughout the year. Always telephone first to avoid disappointment.
