An ideal place to spend a holiday - a campsite with its own cider mill! No need to go anywhere else, as everything you could possibly want is on hand. Dawn Pring's tasty farmhouse cider is very reasonably priced and available Sweet or Dry, or can be mixed to your own taste. Lots of interesting old "scrumpiana" around the site - the place is a sort of informal farm museum! The campsite itself is very pleasantly laid out with trees scattered around, and has good sanitary facilities, in case you're interested! Containers available, or they will fill your own. Fresh farm eggs are also for sale, as well as cider jars and other souvenirs.

Tanpits Cider Farm, Dyers Lane, Bathpool, Nr. Taunton, Somerset TA2 8BZ

Directions by road: Not far from the M5 - leave at junction 25, and follow the dual carriageway towards Taunton. Go across the first large roundabout and continue along the dual carriageway, turning right onto the A38 towards Bridgwater at the Creech Castle inn. Bathpool is a short distance along the road (less than a quarter of a mile). Look for the "Caravan & Camping" signs and turn left into Dyers Lane. You'll see the campsite and cider farm on the left.
