The first craft distillery in the Lake District has made a big splash since opening in 2014. It's located on a "model farm" built during the 1850s and was founded by a team of master distillers. Its range includes several gins, vodkas, blended whiskies and a flagship single malt. Guided tours take you through the process and include a tasting of the three spirits.
The smart bistro (mains £12.50 to £16.50) is well worth a look for lunch, too.
