The Cider Barn, Lyne Down, Much Marcle, Ledbury, HR8 2NT, England
Description
Located on the Marcle Ridge, Herefordshire's heartland of cider and perry making, Lyne Down grows 30 different cider apples and perry pears.
Ian Marshall and Sabine Darrall bought The Cider Barn in July 2015. Although not setting out to purchase a cider business, we quickly discovered the history of the land and orchard.
The traditional mixed orchard had been previously been planted by the late Jean Nowell. Jean had been instrumental in promoting cider and perry and had been a mentor to many well know local producers.
We are a small family business and at busy times of the year like harvest time we all have to lend a hand to get the apples picked and pressed. During harvest time Joe can usually be found on his hands and knees sorting and picking apples whilst Ian assumes a managerial role!
