The Museum of Cider explores the rich history of cider, housed in the old Bulmer's cider factory in Hereford, Herefordshire. You can explore the museum's collection, learn about the King Offa Distillery where cider brandy was distilled between 1984 and 1994, and buy bottled cider brandy from the museum shop. The museum suits those keen to discover the rich history of cider, particularly during events like Perryfest, which is free entry. It's located roughly a 30 minute walk from Hereford train station, or 0.9 miles from Hereford station, and with 18 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it works well as part of a short visit to the area.
