Plymouth, United Kingdom + Add a trip

Must see places

Plymouth was devastated by bombing in the Second World War but there are a few must see old places left in the city. No trip to Plymouth would be complete without a trip to the historic Barbican to see the famous Mayflower steps where the Pilgrims departed for America and the historic fishing port. The Plymouth Hoe has spectacular views over Plymouth Sound. If you can time your visit to conincide with the National Fireworks Display then you are in for a treat as you watch thousands of pounds of fireworks exploded in front of your eyes for free as the company's compete for the national title. A trip to Tinside Pool is a must to see the renewed lido on the Hoe. And as you're in Devon why not take a trip out to Dartmoor to see the beautiful landscapes and vistas of the National Park. Go further than just Yelverton though to escape the tourists.

Looking for a view?

If its the view of the harbour, sea, cliffs and beyond your after.

Head on up to Plymouth Hoe.Its a few minutes walk from the sundial in the middle of town near the Drake Circus.

The view was stunning from near the lighthouse. There are plenty of places to sit down and relax.
