Plymouth is a special place for me, my second home, i go to the University of Plymouth. This city has so much beauty of offer to the public.

Plymouth is 190 miles from London, with great transport likes by rail FirstGreatWestern trains.

Plymouth has some of the most beautiful parks to sit and eat an sandwich in; Central Park, Victoria Park, Freedom Fields Park, Alexandra Park, Devonport Park and the Hoe.

Plymouth is in the Westcountry, Devon to be exact, people from Plymouth are known as janners.

The University of Plymouth is the 11th largest university in England, it is the most idealy placed university as it is opposite the city high street.

Plymouth is great for shopping it hosts the Drake Circus built in 2004 with Next, Boots, Jane Norman, Cult, New Look and Topshop. Plymouth also has two high streets full of the latest shops. Plymouth high street has substantial pedestrianisation which makes it a safe city to walk with all your bags.

Why not take a boat ride from the Mayflower Steps around the Plymouth Sound, see Drake Island, the navy ships, the breakwater.

Plymouth is full of history, the city is home to the Tinside Pool which is an outside pool over the hoe, it is very old school Art Deco pool. Smeatons tower is a beautiful picture spot, everyone needs a snap with the red and white lighthouse.

Union Street is the heart of Plymouths nightlife although it has a bad reputation for trouble after closing. Dont let this stop you going out though, I have had some of my best nights on Union Street. It includes Varsity, Revolutions, Walkabouts, Weatherspoons -Union Rooms, Reflex and C103.

Plymouth is a great music venue, the Plymouth Pavillions is an amazing venue. I saw the Pigeon Detectives there last year and it was absolutely amazing.

Plymouth makes Plymouth Gin, it is the oldest gin distillery in England. They have been producing gin since 1793.

Summary: One of the greatest cities in the world
