2. Take a boat trip around Plymouth Sound

Plymouth Sound is the UK’s first National Marine Park, officially recognised in 2024. A boat trip is the best way to appreciate its stunning coastline, sheltered coves and dramatic cliffs.

The Tinside Lido, the ancient lighthouse Smeaton’s Tower, and a monument of Sir Francis Drake are just a few of the attractions that can be seen on Plymouth Hoe, a large parkland with sweeping views of Plymouth Sound. Those interested in history should definitely check out the Royal Citadel, which was built in the 17th century.

Plymouth Hoe has a number of lovely areas, particularly at the water’s edge, that would be perfect for a picnic with your significant other, kids, or the whole family. The British Firework Championships are only one of several events that take place in the park every year.

This beautiful stretch of coast may be found from Andurn Point in the south all the way up to Mount Batten Point in the north, along the eastern side of Plymouth Sound. Experience the route’s remarkable and diverse geology by taking a trip along it. Many of the rocks here date from the Devonian period, which ended about 359 million years ago and is named after Devon.

There are many different boat trips to choose from, ranging from leisurely sightseeing cruises to adrenaline-fuelled watersports adventures.

3. Climb to the top of Smeatons Tower

Smeatons Tower is an iconic landmark in Plymouth, located on the Hoe. The Grade I listed tower is the upper part of John Smeaton’s Eddystone Lighthouse.

It stood on the Eddystone rocks from 1759 until the 1870s, when it was taken down and rebuilt on the Hoe. Today, it’s a popular tourist attraction with panoramic views of Plymouth Sound and the city.

Visitors can climb the 93 steps to the top for a fee in the main season. There are steep ladders, low ceilings and small openings, and disabled access is very limited.

4. Visit Buckland Abbey

Buckland Abbey is a historic house and former monastery located in the village of Buckland Monachorum. It was founded by Cistercian monks in 1278 and today is owned by the National Trust.

The abbey has a rich history, having been home to a number of notable figures including Sir Francis Drake, who lived there for a time in the 16th century. The house, gardens and estate are open to visitors; check opening times on the National Trust website.

5. Stroll Along Plymouth Hoe

Plymouth Hoe is a large park located on the seafront, with sweeping views of Plymouth Sound. It’s a popular spot for picnics, sunbathing, and people-watching.

The park is also home to a number of monuments and historical buildings, including the Tinside Lido, Smeatons Tower, and the Royal Citadel. The British Firework Championships are held here every year.

The view from Plymouth Hoe is stunning and should not be missed on any visit to Plymouth. It is the ideal spot to enjoy a beautiful day because to the breathtaking panorama of Plymouth Sound.

6. Explore the Royal Citadel

The Royal Citadel is a 17th-century fort located on the Hoe. It was built in the late 1660s, during the reign of Charles II, to defend the coast against the Dutch, and is still a working military base.

The only way in is on a guided tour. Tours run on Saturdays from April to September and include a security check; there is no café, shop or toilets on site, so check the details on English Heritage’s website before you go.

7. Discover the Barbican Leisure Park

Plymouth’s historic Barbican district exemplifies how the city’s maritime, commercial, and military past affected its present. Plymouth’s charming old harbour is a maze of winding cobblestone alleys, Elizabethan warehouses, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. The best spot to get a one-of-a-kind Plymouth memento.

The ancient fish market, which has been moved to the facing quay on the other side of the Harbour, formerly occupied the characteristic single-story glass structure on the waterfront; it has now been creatively turned into a high-quality retail tourist attraction. You may continue your journey through the old quays, where the Pilgrims and many other Plymouth merchants, seamen, privateers, and buccaneers would have passed over the ages, from the cobbled area outside.

Whether you are just passing through or have lived in the area for a while, this is the place to learn everything there is to know about the harbour from which Sir Francis Drake set sail, and the Mayflower Steps memorial, which marks the Pilgrim Fathers’ departure in 1620.

The Barbican Leisure Park is on Barbican Approach at Coxside, across Sutton Harbour from the historic Barbican. It has a Vue cinema and a bowling alley.

There are also several chain restaurants. The leisure park is a great place to visit for a night out or a day of entertainment.

8. Visit Plymouth Dome

Plymouth Dome is a domed building on the Hoe that opened in 1989 as a visitor centre.

It is now a restaurant with views over Plymouth Sound.

9. Radford Park

Radford Park in Plymstock, on the south-east side of Plymouth, was laid out as the grounds of the former Radford House. It has a lake and Radford Castle, an early 19th-century folly that is now a private home.

The park is also a great spot for picnics, walks, and birdwatching. There are several trails that wind through the park, and a number of benches where you can sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Radford Park is a great place to visit if you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Plymouth city centre.

10. Learn about the city’s history at the Mayflower Museum

The Mayflower Museum, at 3-5 The Barbican, is a small museum about Plymouth’s history. The museum tells the story of the Mayflower’s voyage from Plymouth in 1620, and of the city’s maritime history.

It shares a building with Plymouth’s Tourist Information Centre, opposite the Mayflower Steps. Opening days vary by season, so check before you visit.
