You would struggle to find a more beautiful location than the one occupied by Plymouth. To the south you have the stunning natural harbour, to the north the wild moor land of Dartmoor National Park and to the west and east can be found picture postcard villages, smugglers coves and some of the finest beaches in England.
Plymouth itself is an extraordinary blend of vibrant modern city and historic seafaring port. The Elizabethan Barbican is an essential first port of call for any visit. Where Drake and Raleigh once weighed anchor, today you can find a bustling community of specialist shops, restaurants, cafes and world-class attractions, all in a picturesque harbour setting.
Spectacular Plymouth Hoe and the modern pedestrianised city centre are all within easy walking distance so you can shop to your hearts content then relax on the waterfront and enjoy the stunning views. If you are feeling active then you will never be at a loss for something to do. Lovers of the sea will find that Plymouth exceeds their dreams. Choices include windsurfing, canoeing, sailing, fishing, scuba diving, jet ski and water skiing. Whatever you enjoy it’s yours to experience in Plymouth’s rich combination of heritage and natural beauty in a thriving city environment.
