Plymouth:
All hands on deck for a city break packed with maritime magic and historical fervor.
If you could pick up the city or town you live in and place it anywhere in the UK, you’d be struggling to find a more beautiful location than the one currently occupied by Plymouth.
As a city, Plymouth has heaps going for it. Firstly, with a population of about 241,000, it’s one of the largest cities on Britain’s south coast. Secondly, it has a location to die for. To the south, you have its stunning natural harbour and, a none-too arduous ferry ride away, the sights and sounds of France and Spain within your grasp. To the east, we have the picture-postcard villages of the South Hams, Totnes (England’s New Age capital) and the yachting havens of Dartmouth and Salcombe. To the north, you’ll find Dartmoor National Park with its wild moorland and roaming ponies, while Bodmin Moor – of eerie deserted tin mine and resident beast fame - is just a giant’s stone throw away.
Surfing and beaches:
Cornwall is renowned for its fantastic sandy Surfing beaches. Within 25 minutes is whitsand bay which provides moderate waves and fantastic sandy beach for family fun. On the north coast is the surfing resort of Newquay. Newquay is the most popular surfing destination in Cornwall, with an outstanding range of sandy beaches its a fantastic day out for all the family.
Ski:
Situated above the Plym valley near the A38, Plymouth Ski and Snowboard Centre is easy to get to from places in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.
