The local area guide to living in Plymouth

Plymouth is located on the south coast of England, in Devon. The city is nestled in between the rivers of Plym and Tamar, which both combine with Plymouth Sound, or as it is locally called, The Sound.

Plymouth has an extensive history that dates back to the Bronze Age, where the first settlers came to reside in Mount Batten. The area became renown for its fishing and its position as a trading post for the Romans. Francis Drake famously took part in a game of bowls here before going into battle against the Spanish Armada in 1588.

There has been much change to the look of Plymouth over the years, particularly after the war, but it is a city that attracts many, as the people are friendly, the properties are affordable and the location is well-placed. There are a number of landmarks that draw in many visitors, for instance The Plymouth Hoe, a natural harbour which is located on Mount Batten, and features some of the most spectacular views. Smeaton's Tower is another iconic feature of Plymouth, and is the third Eddystone Lighthouse in existence.
