With one of the finest natural harbours in the world on one side and the wonders of Dartmoor on the other, there is no doubt that Plymouth is a great place to live and work.
Its history is rich and deep from the Elizabethan exploits of Sir Francis Drake’s to the Pilgrim Fathers setting sail to America from the Mayflower Steps to the major part it played in World War II and its rebuilding ever since.

The city is home to the National Marine Aquarium and the Theatre Royal with stunning National Trust Properties all within easy reach.
Plymouth has also hosted major events in recent years including the America’s Cup World Series and MTV Crashes and will soon welcome the delayed Mayflower 400 celebrations and host the British Arts Show for the second time in 2021.


There’s also regular sports action at Plymouth Argyle, Plymouth Albion and Plymouth Raiders – the city’s three professional teams.

It has a thriving professional scene with many leading firms of accountants and property professionals along with the presence of all the major banks.
