4. The Gin Journey: Kent Gin Train

Where to find it: England

Everyone knows the Brits can appreciate a good gin, so it’s no surprise England boasts a scenic gin-themed rail trail. The Kent Gin Train debuted in early 2020 and has been a fan favorite ever since. Presented by the Spa Valley Railway, passengers will board the heritage 1960s carriages at the Tunbridge Wells West station in Kent (approximately 40 miles from London) before setting off through the High Weald—a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Along the picturesque round-trip ride, participants will sample three different gins selected from local distilleries. The experience also includes a range of canapes, as well as various fruits, tonic water, and other garnishes so people can customize their concoctions. During the voyage, thirsty guests can also purchase additional gin cocktails before returning to Kent.
