Two of Devon’s top attractions have been announced in the Visit England 2018 Attractions Accolades recognising the quality of visitor experience across England.
Following an annual assessment by Visit England, 76 attractions across the country have been awarded. In the South West region, Devon was represented by the Seaton Tramway and Plymouth Gin.
The awards are designed to celebrate excellence within the visitor attraction sector and are given to those that go the extra mile to provide a high quality day out, with categories such as Welcome, Best Told Story, Quality Food and Drink, Hidden Gem and Gold.
The Seaton Tramway was awarded the Best Welcome in the South West. It offers a great day out allowing guests to step back in time and ride one of their open top double decker trams giving amazing views of the nearby estuary with events and activities open to people of all ages, as well as holding regular child friendly events.
Plymouth Gin received an accolade for Quality Food and Drink, the distillery is the oldest working distillery in England and has been making Plymouth Gin according to the original recipe since 1793, so is arguably the best place for visitors to learn about the process! There are a number of tours available around the site and include free gin!
These attractions have been acknowledged as a result of the outstanding experiences they provide, highlighting all aspects of the visitor experience.
Visit England’s Director, Andrew Stokes, said: “England is home to world class attractions right across the country welcoming visitors throughout the year and offering experiences of the highest quality including excellent food and drink and outstanding customer service. It is also really fantastic to see these accolades recognising the work of those employees, managers and owners who make sure that all who pass through their doors have a truly memorable experience.
