The City of Plymouth

Plymouth’s new renaissance

Whether this is your first visit to Plymouth or your hundredth, you will find something exciting and new because Plymouth city centre and its historic waterfront are changing …

As regional capital for Devon and Cornwall, Plymouth is lucky to enjoy a spectacular setting that looks out over a large natural harbour, while only being minutes from Dartmoor National Park.

Now in the biggest scheme since the end of World War II, plans are underway for the City’s revitalisation. Nearly £300 million is being invested to link the city’s historical waterfront with a top-class urban centre. When completed, Plymouth will rank high on the list of Europe’s top cities in terms of offering the best in shopping, working and city living.

Those familiar with the centre will have already seen its vast central shopping area transformed with a prestigious glass-fronted shopping mall, Drake Circus.
