  • Plymouth Hoe

    This grassy plateau provides a great, relaxing view-point to watch ships sail in and out of Plymouth Sound. Hoe means a high place and your perspective will give you views out to Drake's Island, Mount Batten, Mount Edgecumbe Park and the Eddystone Lighthouse. Dotted with memorials to Plymouth's past, the Hoe also boasts a bowling green which is said to have witnessed Sir Francis Drake loath to leave an unfinished match to fight the in-coming Spanish Armada. His portly statue now looks out to sea. Also located within the Plymouth Hoe are two other popular Plymouth attractions; Smeaton's Tower and the Plymouth Dome. Lying adjacent to the east side of the Plymouth Hoe is the Royal Citadel, a huge structure built by King Charles II to defend Plymouth's port.
