Sightseeing
When open, you can climb the spiral staircase all the way to the top, taking in the history of the lighthouse and how people lived inside it. It's absolutely beautiful and well worth the climb for the views from the top! I love the little wooden beds inside.

One of the original parts of Plymouth, which survived the bombings of WW2. Stroll down the cobbled streets, smell the fish and chips and watch the boats come and go. It's home to the Mayflower Steps, National Marine Aquarium and also was home to the famous artist Robert Lenkiewicz' studio, where he famously took in the homeless, prostitutes and vagabonds for subject studies. Parts of his murals can still be seen adorned on buildings today by the market. Plymouths best export, Gin has their distillery situated here too where you can have a taste tour!

Food Scene
You could be in the Mediterranean nestled on the cliff side al fresco. The tapas choice is large and the service is impeccable. If your lucky some days people practice Salsa by the waters edge underneath the terrace. Just a perfect place for a quick informal bite for lunch or a special occasion.
