As a student in plymouth i spend a lot of time down at the hoe, especially in the summer months as its one of the nicest places to go in plymouth.

From the hoe you can see views of drake's island and all the way to mount edgecombe in cornwall, a very picturesque place. One of the land marks at the hoe is smeatons tower (a lighthouse) situated right in the middle of it where people can walk right up to it, this is very popular with tourists. There is also the tineside pool, an outdoor lido, which has been recently refurbished while is a sun catcher and a lovely way to spend your day.

While at the hoe you can see a lot of different people, familys walking, people eating ice cream and of course students playing frisbee, but there is always activities going on down there. It holds the annual fireworks display, runs days such as armed forces and hold the fair. You can also make your way down to the edge of the water on the rocks where you can see a lot of people having a bbq. Even in the winter months and missrible days is attracts people. This is a centre of activity for the area.
