It was really interesting watching the cider being bottled, labelled and packaged especially when there was an almighty bang and they stopped all the machinery! We were on a walkway high above the works, and it looked like a bottle had maybe burst inside one of the machines... we watched for a while but never saw what really happened.
I tried the cream tea (I was told I ate it the wrong way round last time!) and Elderflower drink, while Chris had a Cornish pastie.

This huge barrel is actually a spiral staircase to the viewing walkway above the bottling plant.

From Wikipedia:
There are regional variations as to how a cream tea should preferably be eaten.
The Devonian (or Devonshire) method is to split the scone in two, cover each half with clotted cream, and then add strawberry jam on top. The Devon method is also commonly used in neighbouring counties and other Commonwealth countries.
With the Cornish method, the warm 'bread split' or a 'scone' is first split in two, then spread with strawberry jam, and finally topped with a spoonful of clotted cream. This method is also commonly used elsewhere, notably in London.
Although these distinctions on whether to apply the jam or the clotted cream to the scone first are still claimed by many, cream teas are served and enjoyed both cream first and jam first throughout both counties.
LOVE them. Americans don't know what they are missing!
