A Tale of Two Ciders
Charlotte Smith and Adam Henson are in Herefordshire, the UK’s cider capital, at the height of the apple harvest.
Charlotte Smith and Adam Henson are in Herefordshire, the UK’s cider capital, at the height of the apple harvest. While unpredictable weather has caused problems for many cereal growers this year, cider producers are telling a different story. From a family business pressing thousands of tonnes to a husband-and-wife team crafting small-batch cider by hand, they discover how production at different scales shapes the countryside, our wallets and the future of this much-loved drink.
Meanwhile, Tom Heap is out at sea with scientists investigating the impact of Britain’s rapidly expanding offshore windfarms on marine life.
