Come to Devon and discover Plymouth
What
to see and do in Plymouth
Plymouth is situated between Dartmoor and the
sea in Devon and is a perfect place to base
yourself for a touring holiday in Devon. Plymouth
is also ideal for short holidays and day trips
with loads of tourist accommodation, tourist
attractions and facilities.
Plymouth can be best explored by starting
at the Plymouth Hoe to learn about Plymouth,
its history and what to do here. Then climb
Smeaton's Tower Lighthouse for fantastic views
of Plymouth.
In Plymouth's Elizabethan Barbican, there
are some fantastic attractions including the
Mayflower Steps, where the Pilgrim Fathers set
sail for America and Plymouth Gin Distillery,
which has been producing Plymouth Gin since
1793. A visitor to Plymouth might also be interested
in the National Marine Aquarium, which houses
the deepest tank in Europe.
Plymouth is the region's shopping capital.
Plymouth's has a modern, vibrant shopping centre
with a large number of national and specialist
local retailers.
At night Plymouth comes alive with restaurants,
clubs and bars. The Theatre Royal has a programme
ranging from drama to musicals and Plymouth
Pavilions is the major regional concert venue.
If you want to get out of the city centre
there are many beautiful historic houses to
enjoy and, at Crownhill, even a Victorian fort
to explore. On a visit to Plymouth you will
never be at a loss for something great to do.
