We visit Plymouth, known as Britain’s Ocean City, and home to one of Europe’s most vibrant waterfronts. Discover its fascinating maritime history, such as its connections with Sir Frances Drake and the Spanish Amada, to the Mayflower sailing in 1620. Alternatively, enjoy its modern and cosmopolitan culture with trendy shops and bars, or visit the Barbican for quaint cobbled streets and a picturesque harbour.
Whilst here, we take a delightful cruise around the harbour – there's no better way to see this city than from the sea that shaped it!
