Plymouth

Few cities in England have a history as closely tied to the Royal Navy as Plymouth. Set beside Plymouth Sound, between the estuaries of the Tamar and Plym rivers, it has long been a strategic port; Devonport dockyard remains a major naval base. On the Hoe, Smeaton’s Tower, a former Eddystone Lighthouse, stands above the waterfront, while the Mayflower’s 1620 departure from Plymouth links the city to a defining chapter of transatlantic migration. Waterfront walks, ferries and the historic Barbican keep the harbour central to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Plymouth Sound and Devon.
