Ampleforth Abbey Orchard
Ampleforth Abbey is a Benedictine monastery located on the edge of the North Yorks Moors National Park. For more than 200 years the monks of Ampleforth have been growing apples in the Orchards. Primarily this was to feed the community and the school, but as the years went by the supply of apples started to overtake the demand. They are now used to make our award winning cider.
We offer guided tours of the orchard where you will have the opportunity learn more about the cider and sample it!
