Plymouth is a city and unitary authority in the Devon, England. It is built between the mouths of the river Plym and Tamar, where they form the Plymouth Sound. For centuries the deep waters at the mouth of the Tamar ensured both political and the economic success for the area. Throughout the Industrial Revolution Plymouth grew as a major shipping industry, including imports and passengers from the USA and the construction of Ships, ranging from small fishing boats to Battleships for the Royal Navy. The city's naval past is important and forms an important part of the tourist attractions in the area but it certainly isn't all there is to do or see there. For those that don't posess the sea legs for a boat trip, scuba diving, wind-surfing or water skiing there's the Plymouth City Centre Shopping Boulevards. Or perhaps you prefer just to relax on the waterfront and enjoy the stunning views across the historical harbour.
