With its unique combination of sea, moors, rivers and lush
countryside, Plymouth is the perfect venue for those seeking a more active
holiday break. There are few better locations in Europe for walking and cycling
than the Plymouth area. Dartmoor National Park is one of the finest unspoilt
landscapes in the UK and is accessible on foot or by bike from the City along
the Plym Valley trail. Plymouth is the perfect centre for water sports.
Choices include canoeing, kayaking, diving, sailing, windsurfing and water
skiing. For those who prefer to stay dry, in July, we host an annual maritime
festival which includes Formula One Grand Prix powerboat racing and other water
based activities.
