Plymouth City Centre
Is the heart of the citys shopping and the place to go if youre looking for retail therapy. Browse big name brands in Drake Circus and on either side of Drake Circus, youll find the pedestrianised city centre with high street stores alongside hundreds of great independents. Stroll down to Plymouth Market to find some amazing unique stalls and incredible artisan food and drink.
Just outside of the city centre, Ebrington Street offers a quirky street of independent stores, with a social enterprise pub, the Bread and Roses and some great coffee shops.
The citys wide tree-lined pedestrianised boulevards are a product of proud post-war redevelopment. Be sure to look up above the shop fronts and facades to see the designs in Portland stone that inspired TVs Kevin McCloud to declare Plymouths post war architecture beautiful and heroic.
Charles Cross roundabout is home to the citys living reminder of the Blitz that reshaped the city, with the bombed out Charles Church sitting at its centre. The Minster Church of St Andrew, which has been the site of a church since the 15th century stands proudly in the city centre. Having been gutted by fire during World War II and refurbished in 1957 the fabric of the building still retains some of its original features along with modern stained glass windows and bells that were cast in the 16th century to celebrate Sir Francis Drakes circumnavigation of the globe.
The Hoe
A breath-taking panorama, no trip to Plymouth is complete without a visit to Plymouth Hoe. With unbeatable views across Plymouth Sound, its the perfect place to spend a sunny day, enjoying a picnic on the grass. Standing tall on the luscious green-lawned expanse of the Hoe is the iconic Smeatons Tower lighthouse. Gaze down at the shoreline and youll see the glorious Tinside Lido, open to the public for bathing during the summer months.
It is here where Sir Francis Drake, intrepid explorer and local hero, is immortalised in a statue, situated just a few metres from the green where he finished his game of bowls before heading out to defeat the Spanish Armada in 1588. At the eastern end of the Hoe youll find The Royal Citadel, the most impressive 17th century fortress in Britain and for many years Englands most important defence against attack from the sea. The Citadel has been in constant military occupation since it was built and today it is home to some of Plymouths modern heroes the troops of 29 Commando Royal Artillery.
