We stumbled across this little bar whilst on a walk and dropped in for a pint. It was a marvellously quirky place with friendly staff, really tasty and unusual beer and lots of games like connect 4 scattered around. Would certainly recommend.

We took the distillery tour and then did a tasting, followed by a delicious meal. Doug was a great guide and even though they were incredibly busy preparing shipments for Christmas, he took the time to explain everything to us in detail. The tasting was fantastic; it was so interesting to see how different tonics and garnishes changed the character of the drink. The tour was topped off with a great lunch at the restaurant and a perfect serve G&T. I highly recommend this Masterclass, and of course buying a bottle of Cygnet gin to take away with you!

4. Dylan Thomas Birthplace
Where Dylan was born, spent twenty-three years of his life and wrote two-thirds of his work. Today, it’s a unique leisure destination for a staycation, afternoon tea, Edwardian dinner and exploring Dylan's county guided tour. But this is not just a guest house or a tourist attraction, this is a living museum, a uniquely intimate connection with the life of one of Wales’ greatest poets.
