While the cool sea breeze whisks between the picturesque greenery, indulge in a morning jog or evening stroll on Plymouth Hoe. Locally referred to as just the 'Hoe', this area was home to the famous author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A favourite location during dusk, the gorgeous sunset pays respect to the memorial gardens on The Hoe.

The Plymouth Hoe is a park situated in the English coast of Plymouth, Devon's nautical port and capital. The large open area faces southwards with a magnificent view of the coast, as well as the Plymouth Sound, Drake's Island as well Cornwall's Hamoaze and Mount Edgcumbe. Located adjacent to and on low limestone cliffs of the seafront, the Hoe was named after its geographic nature which is a sloping ridge much like an inverted foot and heel.

Many of the historical landmarks of Plymouth were destroyed during World War II. A popular bandstand which once stood on the Hoe was dismantled for scrap metal during the war. However a three level tier which was built in 1891 still stands to this day and provides a magnificent view of the waterfront. Below the tier stood the Bull Ring erected on 1880, a pleasure pier inclusive of a dance hall, a landing place for boats that was destroyed during a German raid. Now, in its place stands a memorial garden.

A modern landmark is the Smeaton's Tower which stands upon Plymouth Hoe. The Tower is the top section of the Eddystone Lighthouse constructed by John Smeaton in 1759 on the Eddystone Rocks. Due to erosion of the foundation, the lighthouse was dismantled and put together upon the Hoe and is a popular tourist attraction in Plymouth offering a great view of the waterfront at a height of 48 kilometres. The Plymouth Dome is another tourist attraction offering historical symbolism as this domed structure was built upon an old quarry site above Tinside.

Not only does the Hoe provide spectacular views of the sea, but it offers the pleasure of walking the footpath along the Promenade. Guided walking tours at the Hoe offer the gift of history and knowledge of a great location. Apart from the glorious panoramic views, the Plymouth Hoe is also within close proximity to many city attractions like the City Centre and the shopping venues; Armada Way and Royal Parade.
