Bombay Sapphire Distillery

Gin in Laverstoke Mill, Whitchurch, Hampshire

Is it worth visiting?

Worth it for the architecture as well as the gin: the Heatherwick glasshouses are the main reason to go. From £22 you get a 90-minute guided tour and a gin and tonic, and children aged 12 and under go free, so it suits families. Skip it if you can only travel Monday to Thursday, when it is normally closed.
