Back in 2018, Budleigh Salterton’s Fairlynch Museum marked the 400th anniversary of the death of Sir Walter Raleigh, born like Roger Conant in the little village of East Budleigh. Many toasts were drunk in Raleigh 400 ale, specially made by Dartmoor-based Black Tor Brewery which was honoured with a visit by ‘Sir Walter’ himself. It’s good to discover this 4.6% ‘Peacemaker’ medium dry cider, made by Napton Cidery, but sadly in Warwickshire rather than Devon.

Peacemaker cider is in what Napton Cidery describes as its award-winning signature range. https://www.naptoncidery.co.uk/
