Going on holiday in Plymouth

Plymouth is a popular summer retreat town with plenty to do throughout the year. The city hosts many excellent activities that are well worth attending, including the British Fireworks Championships in August. Luckily, it never feels too crowded despite the popularity, but you can travel in shoulder seasons to avoid beach traffic. From June until September, the Tinside Lido opens overlooking the sea for waterfront swimming.
