Plymouth is defined by its relationship with the water. Located on the south coast of Devon, it sits between the mouths of the rivers Plym and Tamar, forming one of the world’s largest natural harbours. While much of the city centre was rebuilt with functional, mid-century architecture following the Blitz, the historic Barbican district remains, home to the narrow cobbled streets and Tudor buildings that survived the war. Local life often centres around the Hoe, a vast limestone cliff and public park that offers clear views across Plymouth Sound and the iconic red-and-white stripes of Smeaton’s Tower. For practicalities, the city is well-connected by rail to London and Bristol, and the proximity to the Tamar Bridge provides an easy gateway into Cornwall. It feels like a place of two halves: on one side you have the protected waters for sailing and the busy Continental ferry port, and on the other, the rugged terrain of Dartmoor National Park is only a twenty-minute drive to the north.
