Ty Gwyn Cider

Come along to the Ty Gwyn Cider shop and bar near the beautiful Black Mountains! As well as our draught and bottled ciders, we sell T-shirts, gifts, snacks and local produce. We’ve plenty of seating inside, and outdoors on the sun deck. You can also see into our cider shed and view our cider-belt-press and mill (which is one of only two in the country)!

Ty Gwyn is the Welsh for ‘white house’ – the name of the farm in the Monnow Valley that belonged to my stepfather, James McConnel. He had been growing cider apples there since 1969. All his apples were traditionally bought by large cider companies, but one year he used some that were surplus to make his own craft cider. His first batch turned out exceptionally well, and so Ty Gwyn Cider was born!

Back in the 90s, before I followed in my stepfather’s cider-making footsteps, I was in a band called Tiny Monroe. We played at Glastonbury, and supported The Pretenders, Radiohead and Suede. Making great music or great cider takes passion, practice and patience, and Ty Gwyn’s ciders are the result of all three!

First off, we only use great apples from local growers. Importantly, I press the apples myself (using our recently installed belt press, which is the only one of its kind in the country). I’m a bit of a stickler for quality, so we always use 100% juice and give our ciders plenty of time to mature in their vats.

The Ty Gwyn range includes draught and bottled ciders – plus a rather special (and properly produced) perry. Our traditional draft ciders are naturally still, while our refreshing bottled ciders are lightly sparkling.

Raise a glass and enjoy cider made in tune with tradition!
