## About

Sitting on the foothills of the North Yorkshire Moors, Ampleforth Abbey Orchards boasts over 40 different varieties of heritage apples, populating over 2,000 trees which span over seven acres.
 
Our award-winning artisan range of ciders and apple products are produced onsite in our cider mill which is nestled within the Ampleforth Abbey Orchards. Local layman Tim Saxby heads the operation along with George, Steve and Wayne; amongst the team there are years of experience in the production of hand crafted cider.
 
Our beer is produced within the walls of Little Valley Brewery, down Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. Head Brewer Wim and Fr Wulstan are the masterminds behind the Abbey Dubbel’s revival. Using a well-kept recipe that was used by the Benedictine monks of years gone by, Ampleforth Abbey Beer is the only traditionally brewed Abbey Dubbel produced in the United Kingdom.

We are very traditional in our approach to producing our award-winning beer and ciders and pride ourselves in the quality of our products.
