Maybe you're an away fan that's come down to see your team play at Home park, home to Plymouth's own Argyle FC. Or maybe you're in the mood to catch a live football game in one of the UK's oldest football stadiums. Either way, you're in for a treat, the atmosphere never fails to disappoint and the cheers are frequently heard from miles away!

Sightseeing

You really cant come to Plymouth without at least having a brief stroll along the hoe. Plymouth has no better view to offer than here, especially in the sun. There's also often some sort of gathering or event happening up there. Highly recommend Harbourside fish and chips (round the corner from here) and eat it up on the Hoe overlooking the water; simple marvelous!

Although, an hour's drive away, this is arguably the best beach in the UK for surfing. I frequent it myself and have never been disappointed. There's a reason it's home to the world famous board master's surfing competition and music festival. The town attached (Newquay) is also vibrant and full of life with plenty of shopping and places to eat. If the ultimate beach day is what you're after and don't mind the drive to get it, this is the one for you!
