The River Tamar separating Devon and Cornwall

Fancy a pleasure boat trip? Take a cruise into Plymouth Sound and up the River Tamar past the Devonport Royal Dockyards, with its frigates and nuclear submarines. Under Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Saltash Bridge and, tides permitting, up along the upper reaches of the River.

The City Centre

Plymouth is a busy, vibrant, modern city located by a beautiful seafront with a rich maritime history. Plymouth Pavilions and Theatre Royal boast regular shows of excellent calibre and many shows have premiered here before going onto the West End.
