As you will already know, the 2020 Big Apple Cider and Perry Trials were cancelled because of the current Covid-19 restrictions.
Visitors to Hellens Manor in Much Marcle will be greeted by blossom as they arrive through an ancient avenue of perry pear trees. The gardens reflect the house's long history and open onto 150 acres of ancient woodland, wildflower meadows and orchards. Gardens, grounds and tearooms open Wednesdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays, 10.30am - 5.00pm. Dogs and picnics welcome. No need to book in advance. For more information www.hellensmanor.com
Early signs of blossom are appearing in the orchards surrounding Westons Cider in Much Marcle (HR8 2NQ). Open seven days a week, from 9am to 5pm (10am to 5pm at weekends). Enjoy a walk through the orchards, following the nature walk developed by Herefordshire Wildlife Trust. The Scrumpy House restaurant has outside dining pods and take-aways, or take home some cider from the onsite shop. Further information www.westons-cider.co.uk. Booking advisable.
