Plymouth

Plymouth is a historic port situated on the south coast of scenic Devon. It is located between the mouths of two rivers, Tamar and Plym, where they join the expansive Plymouth Sound which forms a beautiful natural harbour. Plymouth is surrounded by lush countryside and the great wilderness of spectacular Dartmoor. The city's history dates back to the Bronze Age and the Roman Empire, when both occupied the settlement at Mount Batten. The famous Pilgrim Fathers left Plymouth in 1620 for America: discover the details of their journey and life in the New World at the Mayflower Museum. During WWII German bombs destroyed the city centre and it now has the largest number of post-war listed buildings in any UK city, except for London.
