Plymouth

The vast, cosmopolitan city of Plymouth in the attractive county of Devon lies where the Rivers Plym and Tamar join Plymouth Sound; in an area that has been settled since at least the Bronze Age. This is an historic city with a rich maritime heritage that overlooks one of the world’s greatest natural harbours. Since it first developed, Plymouth grew as a port; first for trading by the Roman Empire and later as the starting point for world discovery, where in 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers departed England for the New World. With the coming of the Industrial Revolution, Plymouth found great prosperity as a major shipping port for trade and passengers from the Americas as well as an important ship building industry

Today Plymouth is an exciting city that bustles with activity and offers wonderful shopping as well as a large choice of restaurants, bars and traditional pubs. With one of the UK’s largest universities as well as the largest operational naval base in Western Europe, Plymouth is created from diverse influences that ensure there is something for everyone to enjoy; from cultural and historic attractions to an exciting nightlife and entertainment choices.
