The Three Wheel Gin Co.

Three Wheel Gin Co. sits just outside Carnforth and does exactly what it says on the tin - makes gin, proper gin, in small batches with actual care. You can visit the distillery itself, watch the process unfold, and taste what they've made. It's the kind of place where the owners actually want to talk you through their work rather than rush you through a gift shop.

The distillery appeals to gin enthusiasts first and foremost, but also anyone staying in the area who fancies something more interesting than another coastal walk. Families with teenage kids will find it engaging; younger children will get bored within twenty minutes. The tour and tasting experience usually takes about an hour, depending on how chatty the staff are feeling that day.

It works brilliantly as part of a longer holiday around the Carnforth area - you've got Bay View Holiday Park and Crook O'Lune Holiday Park both within four miles, plus Ocean Edge over at Parkdean if you're after the full holiday park setup. The Three Wheel sits well between a coastal day out and a countryside ramble. Worth checking their website for specific opening hours and whether you need to book ahead, as smaller distilleries often operate on limited schedules.
