Can somebody tell me a bit about Plymouth, England? |
Travel Info Im will be in Plymouth for 4 weeks this summer. Can somebody please tell me a little about it? And maybe the surrounding areas... Travel Tips It's an okay city although a little bit stuck out on a limb as far as the UK is concerned. Best bet would be to take the opportunity to visit some of the Devon and Cornwall coastline if you're going to be there in the summer. Others no, i have no idea google it you will have a lot of info then This might help you,- www.visitplymouth.co.uk - The only thing I can tell you about it is that it is where the orginal Settlers of Plymouth Rock, Massachuttsetts came from. I would suggest using Google or one of the other search engines to find more info. Plymouth is a city in the South West of England, or alternatively the Westcountry, and is situated within the traditional county of Devon. It is located at the mouths of the rivers Plym and Tamar and at the head of one of the world's largest and most spectacular natural harbours, the Plymouth Sound. The city has a rich maritime past and was once one of the two most important Royal Navy bases in the United Kingdom, a factor that made the city a prime target of the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. After the destruction of the dockyards and city centre in the blitz of 1941, Plymouth was rebuilt under the guidance of architect Patrick Abercrombie and is now one of the few remaining naval dockyards in the United Kingdom and the largest naval base in Western Europe. Important locations in the city include The Royal Citadel, Devonport Dockyard and The Barbican from where the Pilgrims left for the New World in 1620. People born in Plymouth are known as Plymothians or less formally as Janners. In the Royal Navy, "Guz" is a nickname for Devonport. wikipedia |
