If you are in the area or passing through, it’s definitely worth a visit to Welsh Mountain Cider to enjoy the blossom in the orchard. Have a walk around the orchard, stop for a pint or two, or pick up some bottles to take away.
We still have some space on our tour (Sat 2:30)-book for guided orchard tour and cider tasting.
We grow aver 450 varieties of apple and pear, and the variety of blossom is astounding! Come and see it at its best.
We are easily accessible, 2 miles up the hill from the A470 and only 10 miles from the Hafren Forest.
