07/02/2002 Entry: "South West Literary Tourism Map"

South West Literary Tourism Map
The producers of England’s only 18th century gin, Plymouth Gin, have created a map inviting visitors to the South-West to explore the literary landmarks of Devon and Cornwall. Travellers can finish off with a visit to their distillery in the historic port city of Plymouth, 240 miles west of London.

Readers of the map are advised how to:
~ Search Dartmoor for the Arthur Conan Doyle’s “Hound of the Baskervilles”,
~ Take refreshment in Daphne du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn
~ Visit the only place in the world whose name is followed by an exclamation mark: Westward Ho!
~ Follow “Tarka the Otter’s” trail
Guided tours of the distillery are available daily. Visitors can tour the weighing room and touch, and smell the ingredients before sampling the end product.
For information, tel: 01752 665292. Website: www.plymouthgin.com
