Mayflower Visitor Centre
3-5 The Barbican, Plymouth PL1 2LR, UK – 01752 306330
Great place to visit, very interesting and a fascinating insight in to the lives of people hundreds of years ago and the terrible times they went through just to try to make a better life.
I lived in Plymouth most of my life but only recently went around this centre. Very interesting to learn more about the history of the mayflower. They have made it interesting for children too!
Visit Sutton Harbour
Sutton Harbour, Plymouth PL4 0DW, UK – 01752 204702
Do you like boats? If you do this has a lot of them! Its like a car park! but instead of cars it has lots and lots of boats!! You would think they would call it a "Boat Park" but its actually called a Harbour. Do you like the sea? Well this Harbour has a bit of that as well!! Amazing! The boats actually sit on the sea!! Like a set of swaying Buddhist Bean Bags or floating cars.
A sun trap when the weather is good, and is a chilled and perfect setting for a pint while sitting in the beer garden of the new steak house that was once The China House. A view that makes you truly appreciate Plymouth and it's claim of being an 'Ocean City'. Highly recommended!
Mayflower Steps Guides
The Barbican, Plymouth PL1 2LR, UK – 01752 773549
Historic, lots to see, best on foot. Many pubs and restaurants. Big choice of water taxis and local ferries to nearby places.
Nice steps. Very steppy. Just what you'd expect from steps. You can go up or down. So you are not limited on a single destination.
