The Orchards
Beauty and Tranquility
Why not grab something delicious from the deli then find a secluded spot to enjoy it?
A walk through our orchards is one of the most picturesque experiences you can have. From the spring as our trees blossom and the apples begin to grow through to October and November when we harvest our apples, each month has its own identity and we love to let our customers experience the seasons with us. The colours are exquisite and the sun shining through the trees is a highly memorable experience.
"Plenty for the kids to do with a play park with a couple of Donkeys next door. A large pond you can walk around with lots of ducks. Lovely orchard walks to stretch your legs and see the many varieties of apples grown and great photo opportunities."
Family activity Trails
Throughout the year we offer different nature trails to keep families entertained. Depending on the season you can get involved in making crafts, explore trails around the farm or get closer no nature with some hands on games and activities.
Already this year we kids have enjoyed: An Easter pebble hunt, bugs life trail, and the Corgi Jubilee. This month we have a bee trail starting 20th of June where families can enjoy a selfie photobooth, fun facts and a series of games and bee related activities.
We will have a series of activities around the orchards throughout rest of the year such as a bear trail, harvest time, Halloween and Christmas. Keep and eye on our Facebook page and website for more details and dates.
Head to the Farmshop to collect the activity sheets.
Children's Play Area
Enjoy the perfect combination of watching your children play while you enjoy a coffee or even a cold cider.
Picnics
Throughout the summer you can purchase a picnic hamper online, pick it up in the shop and find a secluded spot in the orchard to while away the hours.
Welcoming all the family
Dogs are welcome at Sheppy's but we do request that they are kept on leads. Dog bins are available in the carpark, please use them.
Only assistance dogs are allowed into the House of Cider but there is outdoor seating where you are able to sit with your dog.
Please note dogs are not allowed in the orchards between August and the end of November for our annual apple harvest.
