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.
