Open Homes workspaceAbout Plymouth
Plymouth is a historic naval and maritime city on the Devon coast, from where Sir Francis Drake set sail against the Spanish Armada and the Pilgrim Fathers departed for America in 1620 from the Mayflower Steps. The Royal Navy's Devonport dockyard is one of the largest in Western Europe. The Plymouth Hoe, with its lighthouse and views over Plymouth Sound, is the city's best-loved open space. With a university and strong marine sector, Plymouth anchors the rental market for the wider South West.
