Frequently Asked Questions

Mid-sized ships berth at Millbay docks, about two kilometres from the centre. Larger vessels anchor in the Sound and tender passengers to the Barbican landing stage, right in the historic quarter.
Start on Plymouth Hoe, then drop down to the Barbican: the two are minutes apart and hold most of what matters. Add the Black Friars distillery or the Elizabethan House depending on your interests.
A broad lawn overlooking the Sound where, according to legend, Francis Drake finished his game of bowls before facing the Spanish Armada in 1588. The red-and-white striped tower standing there, Smeaton's Tower, is a former Eddystone reef lighthouse, dismantled and re-erected here in 1877.
Yes, up narrow steps, and it gives the best panorama of the day: the Sound, the breakwater offshore and the ferries slipping away towards Brittany. In fine weather dozens of white sails animate the water.
Plymouth's old quarter, below the Hoe, which survived the bombing that flattened the modern centre in 1941. Its cobbled lanes, New Street chief among them, line up old houses, art galleries and seafood counters around Sutton Harbour, the city's first haven.
In 1620 a handful of colonists left this shore aboard the Mayflower to found New England. Facing the water, a stone portico marks the Mayflower Steps, the symbolic departure point of the Pilgrim Fathers; an exhibition nearby traces their crossing.
Yes, the Black Friars distillery, where Plymouth Gin has been made since 1793, in a former friary in the Barbican. It opens its still house to visitors, a few steps from the Mayflower Steps.
A 17th-century fortress overlooking the Hoe, still occupied by the army. Its walls recall the defensive purpose of the site and frame the esplanade. The interior is not freely open, but the exterior is part of the walk.
Yes. The Hoe lawn gives space to run, climbing Smeaton's Tower is a hit, and the national aquarium sits at the edge of the Barbican. Distances between sites are short and walkable.
Pound sterling and English. Cards are accepted everywhere, including at the Barbican seafood counters. Cash machines are plentiful in the centre.
