About Plymouth Devon.
The earliest known settlement in Plymouth was a small iron age trading post located at Mount Batten and dates back to 1000BC. It is thought that tin was brought here from Dartmoor via the river Plym and traded with the ancient Phoenicians. This small port was later overshadowed by the rise of the fishing village of Sutton.
Sutton became a market town in 1254 and later was the first town incorporated by the English Parliament. At the same time the name of the town was changed from Sutton to Plymouth.
It was from Plymouth that the Pilgrims sailed to the New World in 1620 aboard the Mayflower. Plymouth was where the defeated Napolean Bonaparte was brought aboard the HMS Bellerophon before his exile to St Helena.
Most visitors to Plymouth are drawn to the spectacular Plymouth Hoe, a stretch of greensward overlooking Plymouth Sound; it is believed that this is the place where Sir Francis Drake completed his game of bowls before setting sail to defeat the Spanish Armada. Plymouth Hoe is dominated by Smeatons Tower, a former Eddystone Lighthouse which was moved here in 1877. Smeatons tower overlooks Tinside Pool, a unique 1930's outdoor Lido which sits upon the limestone shoreline at the base of the cliff.
The city is one of the primary gateways to Cornwall providing access by way of the Torpoint Ferry across the Hamoaze, and the Tamar Bridge linking the St Budeaux area of Plymouth on the Devon side Tamar to Saltash on the Cornish bank. The major rail link to Cornwall, Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge runs side-by-side with the road bridge.
Plymouth is currently undertaking a massive project of redevelopment, the largest since the city was rebuilt after the Second World War. This redevelopment is set to continue until 2020.
