The City of Plymouth, on the banks of the river Tamar stands, at the Gateway to Cornwall. It has got everything for the holiday maker and daytripper. It is an ideal base from which to explore Devon and Cornwall. If it's sun sea and air you are after, you've come to the right place. In Plymouth you are never far from the sandy beaches of Devon or the more rugged beaches of Cornwall that so well known for their water sports. Plymouth has attractions by the dozen like the Plymouth Dome, situated on the Hoe, where you can explore the role and history of Plymouth as a seafaring city. Stand on the Hoe, where the bowling green is a reminder of the game that Sir ...  Read the complete review

Plymouth has quite a bad reputation, it's known to be a bit dirty and uncared for, with outdated buildings and high levels of crime and vandalism. i must admit, every time i've been to plymouth in the last few years this has proved to be the case, which is a shame, as it could be a real hub. it has all the usual shops and boutiques, with a semi decent night life, and there are some famous bands and acts that play there which is a bonus for people from cornwall. it has travel links but both the train and bus station need cleaning and modernising, they're very grotty and don't generally encourage people to stay! One of the good things ...  Read the complete review

I have visited Plymouth a few times since i moved to the Westcountry. Plymouth is a city in Devon, close to the sea. It is home to quite a few military bases. There is a lot to do in Plymouth, by day and by night. With lots of pubs, restaurants and nightclubs, Union Street is popular with the locals and the students alike. With a vast number of people decending upon it for a big night out most nights out of the week. By day, there are so many options. Why not take a walk to the Barbican or the Hoe? Have a look around the National Marine Aquarium at the vast sea life. If that doesnt tickle your fancy, there is also an indoor Ice Rink, Dry Ski Slope ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Plymouth for 5 1/2 years now, and really love it. It has the advantage of being sandwiched between Dartmoor, and the sea, so depending on how the mood takes you, you can head off to the beach or walk the solitary moors, looking out for the Dartmoor Ponies. Plymouth is a town that was fairly devasted by WW2 bombing, so a lot of its finest buildings have been lost, but walk along the Hoe, where Sir Francis Drake was playing his game of bowls, before heading off with the Armada. Meander thought the streets of the Barbican, with the plymouth Gin Distillery as a notable ditraction. Visit the Mayflower exhibtion, and def visit the Aquarium, which is ...  Read the complete review
