Our headquarters and Apiary are at Heatherton Park.
Follow the A38 from Taunton until you get to the Worlds End hotel (2.5 miles). On the opposite side of the road you will see a house with an archway through it. Go through this archway and drive for about 300m. Our Apiary and building are on the left. Beware of sleeping policemen!
If you are coming from the Wellington direction it is 1.3 miles from the A38 roundabout.
Please be aware that strict hygiene protocols are in force within the Heatherton Park Apiary
