Meet the magical hidden off-grid community living in West Country woodland

A magical hidden off-grid community lives in West Country woodland and makes cider to sustain their lifestyle. Tinkers Bubble has been located at Norton-sub-Hamdon near Yeovil since 1998.

They offer an "off-grid, low-impact community" which "aims to provide sustainable land-based livelihoods for up to 16 residents". They don't use any fossil fuels and produce all their own timber.

Impressively, they also make cider, apple juice and vegetables which is sold locally. And a wood-fired steam engine powers an on-site sawmill, reports Somerset Live.
