Activities in Plymouth
Taking a break doesn’t necessarily mean slowing down the pace, and for those looking for excitement and adventure, Plymouth has plenty of exhilarating activities that will guarantee an action-packed stay.
Nothing beats getting your walking boots on and heading out for a stomp along the coast, and with the South West Coast Path right on your doorstep it’s an ideal opportunity for exploring the rugged beauty of the Devonshire cliffs.
Cyclists are well served with the national cycle network, connecting the Devon coast-to-coast route running right through to Plymouth into the Plym Valley and beyond.
You won't be suprised to learn that the best way to appreciate Britain's Ocean City is from the water. We're perfectly situated for water sports and whether you're an experienced seafarer or haven't quite found your sea legs yet, there's a chance for everyone to get active in Plymouth.
There are sports centres offering kayaking, windsurfing, coasteering, rock climbing and much more – by the end of your visit to Plymouth you’ll be exhausted but it will definitely be a trip to remember!
