With its dazzling waterfront, stunning natural harbour and proud maritime history, Plymouth is the UK's Original Marine City.

Plymouth holds a very special place in history. It is the place where Sir Francis Drake played bowls before defeating the Spanish Armada; the point of emigration for the Mayflower, its Pilgrims and countless others setting sail for America; where Darwin set sail on the Beagle and birthplace of Scott the polar explorer. It is the city of discovery.

The Centre of Devon and Cornwall

Plymouth is an easy city to get to and travel around once you are here. A selection of train, road and air routes link us nationally. Once here the city is well laid out with good road coonnections, and the centre is also compact enough to walk from city to sea in a few minutes.
