Plymouth

Plymouth is approximately three and a half hours from London by car. Head towards the South West on the M5 from Bristol, travel towards Exeter and then join the A38 and onwards to Plymouth. The journey takes a similar time by train, travelling from London’s Paddington Station.

It was from the seafaring city of Plymouth that Sir Francis Drake and Captain Cook set sail on their courageous voyages to discover new worlds. With this in mind the area has, of course, a long and varied maritime history. Plymouth is a Naval town, where a sightseeing tour along the River Tamar will allow you to visit some of the Royal Navy’s vessels moored at the docklands after their journey through Plymouth Sound.

Away from the history and narrow streets you will find a modern and cosmopolitan city which provides excellent shopping, a wide variety of restaurants and places to relax

and unwind. The city also benefits from having superb amenities from bowling to ice skating and dry slope skiing.

Nearby, you’ll also find the internationally recognised St. Mellion Golf and Country Club and excellent opportunities for ocean based sports such as sailing, kayaking or wind surfing. Scuba divers can dive on Europe’s first artificial reef, The Scylla, which is a former Royal Navy frigate that is situated in Whitsand Bay.
