3) Wilkins Cider Farm
Address - Land's End Farm Mudgley, Wedmore
Rating - 5 stars out of 241 reviews
One reviewer said: "A visit to Wlikns cider farm can leave some people bewildered. There is no modern 'tech' I.e cash tills, wifi etc. Some seating is available, inside and out, you are more than welcome to 'try before you buy' and the staff, especially Roger the owner, are more than helpful.
"This place is regularly used to film TV productions, jamie Oliver, countryfile etc and many famous musicians do/have visited - sid vicious, Reef, pink floyd, mick Jagger, the clash to name but a few and there is a GENUINE Banksy artwork on the wall too!
"A fantastic place and a real 'time capsule' of better times.
"Cider/cheese/pickles and fruit & veg are available to purchase onsite.
"Cash only and please, remember that farmhouse cider is MUCH stronger than supermarket/pub cider so dont be tempted to drink and drive from here."
