Plymouth City MuseumIf you do make it to Plymouth, the Plymouth City Museum and Gallery is another attraction worth a visit. The streets and Barbican of Plymouth have seen their share of history over the centuries, so what better place to discover the facts behind the legends than in the Plymouth City Museum? You’ll find 9 galleries packed with objects and pieces from the art world, as well as regular events and special exhibitions to bring the city’s heritage to life. The museum is open from Tuesday to Friday, except on bank holidays.

Kingsand BeachKingsand Beach is probably the ultimate family attraction in Kingsand! If you’re on a dog-friendly holiday in the area then this is ideal, as dogs are allowed on the beach all year round. This sheltered shingle beach is a favourite with those on family holidays, as it’s well served by nearby facilities, a large car park and easy access. This is an east facing beach, and there are plenty of rock pools for children to explore at low tide too. The beach is safe for swimming and this is also a popular spot for boating, so you’ll probably be treated to the sight of sailors enjoying the waters. |
Merchants HouseMerchant’s House is another one for the list in Plymouth. Tucked in one of the oldest streets in Plymouth, Merchant’s House is a beautiful historic building that has been home to 3 Plymouth mayors over the years and is packed with history. One former resident, Privateer William Parker, was the friend of Sir Francis Drake himself! The narrow winding stairs within the building lead to rooms brimming with the city’s history. The house is open between April and October, and it's closed every Sunday and Monday (except Bank Holidays). The museum is housed within Merchant's House.

Mount Edgecumbe HouseMount Edgecumbe House and Country Park lie in the east Cornwall countryside just outside of Plymouth. The house was once home to the Earl of Mount Edgecumbe and boasts 865 acres of Country Park. The Grade I Cornish Gardens never fail to impress, and the site is even home to the national Camellia collection. The house dates back to the 1500s and underwent restoration following the Second World War. The House and Earl’s Garden are open between March and October, and the rest of the park can be accessed throughout the year.

The Torpoint FerryThe Torpoint Ferry is the reason that the impressive attractions across the River Tamar in Plymouth are included on this page. There is a regular ferry service between the town of Torpoint and the city of Plymouth, which takes cars and pedestrians. The ferry service has operated since 1791, and transports visitors across the river regularly every day of the week for just a small charge. If you’re tempted by the natural family attractions in Kingsand and Cawsand yet fancy some day trips, the Torpoint Ferry can give you the best of both.
