History and tradition have painted a wonderful backdrop to the city of Plymouth. From the elegance of Plymouth Hoe, along the history of the Barbican, and as far as the award-winning National Marine Aquarium, the city of Plymouth has something for everyone.

Take your pick of the restaurants we can recommend, all within close proximity, including Chinese, Greek, Thai and no visitor ought to go home before experiencing some of the finest seafood in the country, much of it caught freshly that day by one of the many fishing vessels that can be seen moored on the Barbican. The Barbican itself is a slice of living history; where else can visitors stand at the site where the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for the Americas, or stroll along still-cobbled Elizabethan streets.

Just north of Plymouth lies a world of natural beauty. Dartmoor National Park is home to a plethora of flora and fauna, allowed to grow wild. The rugged natural beauty of Dartmoor has inspired many a poet and writer, not least of which was the world famous Arthur Conan Doyle, who was inspired by it to write his chilling Sherlock Holmes adventure, "The Hound of the Baskervilles".
