It has views of most of South Somerset on clear days. The cider is made in traditional vats and uses age old traditional methods of production. Every October is "Apple Day" when the apples are harvested from locally owned orchards.

Somerset Cider Brandy

Somerset Cider Brandy is an apple brandy that has been in written records as far back as 1678.[1] A modern version was first produced by Burrow Hill in 1987. It reportedly became the first legal distillery in Somerset for 150 years, when, in 1989, the farm received the first full cider-distilling licence ever issued by the UK's HM Customs and Excise.[2]
