Think cider, and a bucolic scene of country life in Devon or Dorset may come to mind. But cross the border into Wales, and a surprise awaits. For a glass of scrumpy at its finest, make your way to The Plough & Harrow, a 12th century Welsh inn, 10 miles south of Bridgend. Having walked the spectacular Glamorgan Heritage Coast Path from Llantwit Major to Monknash - enjoying a dip in the Severn Estuary on the way - our day concluded by cradling a pint of award-winning farmhouse cider, sat in the Plough’s gorgeous cottage garden. Selling cider produced by Gwyent y Ddraig - a CAMRA gold medal winning set-up - Barnstormer, Haymaker and Orchard Gold are just three of the delicious traditional offerings currently available.
