2 Best Sights in England

Just 6 miles southwest of Ledbury, this cider mill is a fantastic way to get a taste (literally) of the drink Herefordshire is famous for. They've been making cider on this site since the late 19th century, and many of the ciders are familiar brands. Tours (offered daily at 11 am, 12:30 pm, 2 pm, and 3:30 pm; book by calling in advance) take about an hour and 20 minutes and conclude with a tasting of about five ciders. Stop at the very good on-site Scrumpy House restaurant to try one of the excellent pies; there's also a shop.

Having smelled the waft of sweet hops in the air, head to the source of the aroma with a visit to the Greene King Brewery. Part architectural experience, part tasting session, the guided tours take you around the 1930s Westgate building, ending with the opportunity to sample some of the brewery's finest ales.
