About Plymouth
Situated in the Sound Bay, southwestern England, Plymouth is a leading port of the region and the largest naval base in Western Europe. Nevertheless, the city is most frequently associated with the famous Mayflower vessel, which departed from the cityof Plymouth in 1620 to reach the New World, establishing a thriving settlement there under the same name. Interestingly enough, in 1912 the city cared for Titanic survivors, who were transported to the port right after the infamous tragedy. Unfortunately, during World War II Plymouth suffered great damage due to the heavy bombardment of the region. After the war, the town was reconstructed following Patrick Abercrombie's design. Particularly worth visiting in the restored Plymouth is the Hoe area, which overlooks the picturesque Sound Bay and Drake's Island. Other notable monuments of the region include Smeaton's Tower, Drake's Statue, the 17th-Century Royal Citadel and the old harbor known as the Barbican, which is filled with shops, art galleries and pubs. Nearby, you can also find the largest British Aquarium.
