The 10 Best Shopping in Torquay, England

September 1, 2021 Vergie Nakamoto

Mild ocean breezes, sandy beaches and swaying Torbay Palms give the small English town of Torquay a distinctively Mediterranean feel. More than just a beach spot, Torquay boasts an enormous coastal aviary and the famous Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves. Agatha Christie spent most of her life here, and the city is now home to multiple film companies. With such a rich literary history, Torquay may be the perfect place to finish writing that novel or screenplay, or just to relax with a good mystery.

The Gin Nest

The Gin Nest provides each person with the chance to design and create their own one-off bottle of gin to take home with them using a traditional copper pot still. During the gin-making experience there is discussion on the history of gin, the different styles of gin, methods of distillation and botanicals used. Choose your own botanicals, create your label and bottle your gin.

What a fantastic morning! A real treat learning about gin, the different botanicals that can be used and how they interact with the fundamental flavour profile of juniper. Thoroughly recommend a visit a really enjoyable couple of hours
