Along Marine parade, you’ll find a tempting array of ice-cream shops and pastel painted beach huts that line the beach – it’s the epitome of British seaside resort. The farm uses a small apple collecting vehicle that makes its way down the aisles of apple trees, gobbling up all the fallen apples in its path. The apples are then transported to the cider mill for pressing.

From that day on my love of cider has grown and grown. Like apple blossom joyously bursting open in the spring sunshine, something bloomed within my heart when I first tasted cider. For me cider is a reminder of home, of celebrations that come with the seasons. It is always my drink of choice. A drink that finds itself into my hand during the best moments. From family get-togethers to music festivals and camping trips with friends, it is the perfect accompaniment to the good times.

When my partner, Simon, stumbled across a cider tour and tasting experience at an organic cider farm in Dorset, my eyes lit up. Not only was this a cider-related fun thing to do, but it was organic cider, which is even better, and it was an opportunity to learn more about the drink that’s so special to me, while camping on an orchard. The cafe’s interior is relaxed surf chic, inspired by founder Keian Gillet, a passionate boardrider and chef. Blue and white paneled walls are decorated with a collection of surfboards and other nods to the ocean in the form of art and photography – a celebration of south west coast surf culture and an expression of love for the beach and the sea. As well as rural and coastal vistas, this part of Dorset has a lot of attractive gardens, including the well-groomed grounds at Mapperton House (15 minutes) and Bennetts Water Gardens (40 minutes), which is geared towards water lilies. A trip to Abbotsbury (30 minutes), meanwhile, can combine a wander around the subtropical gardens, the swannery and the maze.
