Plymouth is home to some incredible attractions, with something for everyone in the family to enjoy - from the UK's largest aquarium to outdoor pools and exciting museums. And if getting outdoors is your thing then the coastline to either side of Plymouth into Devon and Cornwall is peppered with some of the country’s most envied beaches and romantic hidden coves, and just on the edge of Plymouth, you'll find one of the finest and largest national parks in Britain - Dartmoor!
Plymouth has an interesting and varied history, and there are some fascinating local sites to be visited in the area dating from the 15th century onwards such as the famous Mayflower Steps where the Pilgrims set sail in 1620.
Within Plymouth, you'll also find 37 ancient monuments including boundary stones, milestones and other markers which add great interest to the local heritage landscape. Our landmark and trail guides offer a great day for those interested in re-living Plymouth's past or download the free Plymouth Trails app.
For a deep dive into the city's history, make sure to visit The Box - Plymouth's museum, art gallery and cultural centre which is home to thousands of fascinating objects.
Plymouth prides itself on its arts & culture, hosting many exhibitions and events throughout the year in the great range of galleries.
