IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
King Street, NEWTON ABBOT, TQ12 2DZ

The brick terrace leads down from East Street towards the former United Reformed Church with its green spire.

This totally unspoiled gem sells unpretentious wholesome food and the highest quality draught scrumpy. It would almost be worth selling up and moving to Devon to be able to regularly frequent a place like this! See inside at Image and Image see also Image This Cider House was Camra's 2011 winner of Cider (and perry) Pub of the Year http://www.camra.org.uk/ciderpoty

The Cider Bar is at 99 East Street, Newton Abbot. Geographers seated are, right to left, Alan Hunt (Murgatroyd), Derek Harper and Robin Stott. We enjoyed draught perry, hot pasties and non-stop conversation. The busy Cider Bar was the best, if noisiest, place to be on a cold, grey Sunday afternoon. Some colour correction has been attempted: original was strongly orange.

Located on East Street at the junction with Union Street.
