The 15th largest city in England, Plymouth boasts an astonishing economic output of £5.2 billion, supplying over 108,000 jobs. This thriving commercial and ferry port city in Southwest England, is home to the largest naval base in Western Europe.
It will come as little surprise that Plymouth is renowned for its strengths in the marine industries, as well as its defence sectors and advanced manufacturing.
Justly proud of their long maritime heritage, many Plymothians suggest Plymouth is best discovered by heading to its historic Barbican district with its quaint, cobbled streets. Alternatively enjoy a spot of history at the famous Mayflower Steps, where, in 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers first set sail for the New World.
