From Humble Beginnings
Shed Head began as a small cider-making project by Richie, built around a passion for traditional methods, local produce and bringing people together.
What started in a shed has grown into one of the most recognisable parts of Gower Heritage Centre, offering visitors a place to relax, browse and enjoy a taste of Wales.
Today, Shed Head continues to champion local products, homemade food, craft cider and the warm welcome that has made it a favourite stop for visitors and locals alike.
Some businesses start with a detailed business plan. Shed Head started in a shed.
What began as a small cider-making experiment has grown into one of the most distinctive parts of Gower Heritage Centre. Built on a passion for traditional methods and local produce, Shed Head was founded with a simple aim: to create authentic Welsh cider while celebrating the agricultural heritage of Gower.
Since 2011, cider has been produced using apples grown in the Centre’s own orchard, continuing a tradition that has been part of rural communities for generations. Visitors can still see many of those historic methods reflected in the cider-making process today. Apples are harvested by hand, crushed using a remarkable 1890s travelling cider press and carefully fermented to create a cider that reflects both the character of the fruit and the landscape from which it comes.
The connection between the orchard, the historic watermill and the surrounding countryside is what makes Shed Head unique. It is more than a place to enjoy a drink. It is a living reminder of how food and drink were once produced, shared and celebrated within local communities. Every bottle tells part of that story, linking traditional skills, local ingredients and the rich heritage of Gower.
Today, while the business has grown far beyond its humble beginnings, the philosophy remains unchanged: champion local produce, preserve traditional methods and provide visitors with an authentic taste of Wales. What started in a shed has become a place where heritage, craftsmanship and community continue to come together.
