Plymouth’s Regeneration.
Plymothians are keenly aware that the city is currently in the middle of an enormous programme of revitalisation that will make it one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

Plymouth – England’s Historic City of the Seas
Standing on Plymouth Hoe, looking out to sea, you can easily believe that you are a major Mediterranean city. With the green headland cradling the harbour on either side and palm trees nearby, across the water you glimpse the rolling hills of Mount Edgecombe Country Park.
Plymouth is not like anywhere else in Britain and its proud seafaring heritage is apparent everywhere.

Plymouth, Devon
Plymouth is the biggest city in Devon and has the largest number of businesses and shops in the region. Plymouth City Centre has a wide range of shops as well as three large department stores.
Plymouth Barbican is a great source of the unusual – shoppers can browse through a variety of small independent stores, including antique shops and art galleries. Afterwards, they can enjoy a drink or a meal in one of Plymouth Barbican’s many wonderful ‘al fresco’ venues, offering views across the Marina.
The name of the city, Plymouth, originates from the fact that the city is located at the mouth of the River Plym.
