Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm

Healeys Cyder Farm is a family-owned business, which has fast become the largest independent cyder-maker in Cornwall.

As a working cyder farm, there’s always something going on – with staff busy looking after the orchards, making jam, blending cyder, pressing apples, bottling and kegging.

Healeys are known for their guided tours, tractor rides and sample taster sessions.

The farm has level access throughout and is open 7 days a week (from 9am - 5pm). It is recommend that you book your visit online in advance, in order to get a 20% discount (which also includes free return to the farm for the next 12 months). There are no concessions for disabled customers / carers, as Healeys believe that an annual pass can be enjoyed by everyone.

Parking

There is a large, concrete car park on-site. In total there are 6 disabled parking bays situated outside the main entrance.

Mobility

The main entrance to the visitor centre has automatic doors, and provides a large open space to manoeuvre any mobility aids. There is also a lift which takes you up to the aerial view of the production area.

Exiting the visitor centre there are more automatic doors and a concrete ramp. In keeping withe farm there is an 8-year-old cobbled courtyard, which can be a bit bumpy for some. The majority of all other surfaces and smooth and hard, with level access.

There is a ramp into and out of the Rattler bar and also the farm shop. The self-serve bar is attended by a bar supervisor who can assist with pouring if needed.

When it comes to the tractor rides around the orchard (additional charge), there is one accessible trailer for manual wheelchair users only.

Vision

The main courtyard may be difficult to navigate due to the cobbled uneven ground.

Official assistance dogs are welcome.
