Cider: Heineken chops down thousands of apple trees in Monmouthshire

An enormous orchard has been cut down by Britain’s biggest cider maker.

Heineken chopped down thousands of apple trees as it wants to sell the land, which is the size of 140 football pitches.

The firm said it had acted in line with the Wildlife Act but environmentalists are worried about the effect on birds.

The owners of Bulmers cider blamed a surplus of apples and a slow down in demand for cider for the uprooting at Penrhos Orchard, on the Offa’s Dyke path in Monmouthshire.
