  • The countryside around Wells, England, is great for growing apples and you can visit farms that brew the authentic hard cider - known around here as "scrumpy." And at Land's End Cider Farm, Roger Wilkins is as old-school as it comes.
    At www.ricksteves.com, you'll find money-saving travel tips, small-group tours, guidebooks, TV shows, radio programs, podcasts, and more on this destination.

    I grew up in Somerset and we regularly went to a cider mill to get some proper cloudy farmhouse cider. They had small barrels in the shop that you could sample the different ciders and I remember even as a 6 year old trying it and loving the stuff - and then sleeping all the way home!

      Can you import it from the UK? You can buy bag in the box cider I think. Not sure how much it costs though.

      @@bjrngumundsen939 No problem. Maybe look on the internet to see if you can Import from somewhere, I don’t know if it might be expensive. Maybe look at some Somerset cider websites, I’m pretty sure there will be some places that will import it to Norway.

      That's a fair question. All I can say is it seems to hit the spot very quickly. Far quicker than beer in my experience.

      Have 4 pints of it and you definitely will be feeling it my friend. In some cases, it makes you fall asleep without warning. Like a kick from a mule. Strong stuff in large quantities.
