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, the Corgi Jubilee and last month the bee trail. This month we will have a Apple Day trail starting 15th of October where families can enjoy time on the farm.

We will have a series of activities around the orchards throughout the rest of the year such as a orchard story 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 sheet.

Welcoming all the family

Please note dogs are not allowed in the orchards between August to the end of November for our annual apple harvest.

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.

Orchard walks

We have two sign posted walks to enjoy, 20 minutes (Yellow) and 40 minutes (Red). Through out the year we do have cattle, sheep 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.
