...sandy bunkers of St. Andrews aren't the only tourist traps in the golf capital of Scotland. Just 14 km down the road, 30 m beneath a quaint stone farmhouse, is Scotland's Secret Bunker: the nuclear-proof headquarters for Scottish ministers, had the cold war got hot.

"If you take the apple out of Herefordshire, you take away its economy, its character, its heart," says Margaret Thompson, director of the Hereford Cider Museum. On Oct. 15-16, over 1,000 people are expected to descend on the museum, a kilometer west of the city center (tel: [44-1432] 354207; www.cidermuseum.co.uk), for a festival at which visitors can taste up to 40 varieties of the alcoholic drink, ranging from finer, bottle-fermented sparkling cider to the rougher, cloudy and nonfiltered "scrumpy."
