The Newt in Somerset

A working estate with a high-end boutique hotel, Hadspen House (once inhabited by garden designer Penelope Hobhouse), and acres of splendid gardens, woodland, farmland and cider orchards. The Newt has its own bakery, butchery and farm shop selling produce from the estate, such as grass-fed, high welfare beef and lamb and it also makes its own cider, apple gin and apple juice. Membership is usually required to visit The Newt but for the Food Trail Festival, it is putting on a Cyder Cellar Tour and Tasting for up to 20 people.
