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."
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.
Please be aware that we do not allow glass in our orchards. If you have glass you can use one of our picnic benches, by oak tree or in carpark. Or if you want to head into the orchard please ask a member of staff to decant it into plastic.
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.
Please note dogs are not allowed in our orchards between 15th August to the end of November for our annual apple harvest.
Only assistance dogs are allowed into the House of Cider. Well behaved dogs are allowed in the café area and there is outdoor seating where you are able to sit with your dog and order from the café.
Orchard walks
We have three sign posted walks to enjoy, 20 minutes (Yellow) and 40 minutes (Red) and 1 hour (blue) which is suitable for dog walkers.
Through out the year we do have cattle grazing in the orchards. The walking routes are sometimes closed to the public, if gates are closed with a sign please do not enter the orchard.
Visit the ducks at the pond
Stop off, head to the pond to enjoy the ducks and wildlife.
Apologies but dogs are not allowed in this area because of the wild life.
