On a recent camping trip in Herefordshire the adults in our party drank various Little Pomona ciders and also a gorgeous Ghost Perry, too delicious to meddle with.
Have you always lived in Herefordshire? What are your earliest memories of the county. I didn’t grow up near here: I am a Devon farmer’s daughter so very much a country person. The first time I came to Herefordshire was to visit my boyfriend’s – now husband’s – parents for the first time. My trepidation about this was blown away by the beauty of the vounty. That was over 25 years ago and this first impression has never dimmed.
How would you describe Herefordshire to people who don’t know it? The great undiscovered gem of the English countryside.

Where else can you start with a feature on cider? With some 7,500 varieties grown worldwide – and more than 250 UK apple varieties used for cider according to Discover Cider – it’s little wonder the category is so diverse.
More than half (55%) of the 122 new cider products introduced to the drinks market in 2019 were apple-based – compared to 39% fruit ciders – according to CGA, proving that despite the success of zany flavours, they still haven’t completely upset the apple cart.
