Riddle's Cider

Ciders

Riddle's produce one type of cider - a medium-dry, but variable season on season - which is excellent stuff. Matured in oak barrels and made from local cider apples. According to the Guide to Real Cider, it also includes some Bramleys and perry pears.

They usually have 1 gallon containers available to sell the cider in, but you may also take your own containers to be filled. They also sells fresh eggs from the farm.

Open Riddle's Cider is only a small fairly uncommercial outfit and they may not be in if you call unexpectedly; so I would advise to phone before travelling.
Directions

Directions by road: Oak Farm is on the road from Thornbury to the Oldbury power station, about a mile out of Thornbury. The farm is behind a house right by the roadside to the north of the road. Turn into the driveway by the large sign saying "Oakleaf Nurseries" and park in the yard behind the house. Ring the bell at the door at the far end of the house if there is no-one around.
