List of cider producers in Cornwall

Cider press at Haywood Farm, St Mabyn, Cornwall

This is a list of cider brands from Cornwall in the United Kingdom. Although neighbouring counties, Somerset and Devon have better known and extensive apple orchards, Cornwall has an equally long orchard and cider tradition. Many of the Cornish cider producers are using traditional Cornish varieties of apple that are well suited to growing in the Cornish climate and give a distinctive flavour to the cider.[1] At one time, cider was the staple drink of Cornish farm workers, and most farms would have their own orchard.[2]
