Plymouth Hoe

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hoe is really the heart of Plymouth; a huge greenspace with dramatic memorials, Smeaton's Tower and unrivalled views. In summer, the grass is covered with people having picnics, throwing frisbees and admiring the fantastic panorama of Plymouth Sound. It's a wonderful place to watch the boats and come for a walk.

View of Plymouth Sound

Highlight • Monument

Lovely views over Plymouth Sound close to The Citadel and a few yards away from Elphinstone car park this is a great place to start a waterfront walk passing The Hoe and Smeatons Tower. The route can be extended through Millbay and Stonehouse to the Royal William Yard and the local ferries or on through Mount Wise to Devonport and Torpoint ferry. Plenty to see on the way.
