    In this video we react to Plymouth, England for the first time. What a beautiful city! Plymouth seems like an idyllic, laid back coastal town. We loved the cobblestone streets and unique shops that seem to be around every corner. It seems like the type of place that would be great for a relaxing vacation.

    In this video we see both a walking tour of Plymouth and learn about some of the best things to do while there. We definitely look forward to visiting Plymouth when we’re in the UK. Huge shout out to Jason, Tara, Mya and Ezmee for the recommendation.

    Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this reaction please give this video a thumbs up, share your thoughts in the comments and click the subscribe button to follow my journey to learn about my British and Irish ancestry.

      Going by the flowers I would say that it was filmed in early summer when we ccan still get bits of all seasons in a day! If you like historical and coastal you should check out Whiby in Yorkshire which has links with Captain Cook and Dracula

      Hey, Steve and Lindsey

      I actually have a friend whom I'd met through Facebook that lives in Plymouth, England.
      My friend Pete had served in the Royal Navy in the Falkland Islands campaign during Margaret Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister, and Plymouth is basically the UK equivalent of Annapolis, Maryland as it's home to the Royal Naval Academy

      This is my home. Plymouth has strong historical connections with the U.S.
      1620 pilgrim fathers set sail from Plymouth the Mayflower.
      Sir Francis Drake finished circumnavigation of the globe 1580 where he was met Queen Elizabeth 1st.
      The Royal Navy has had a naval presence here for centuries, also the Marines.
      Royal William Yard is a former naval supply Yard during the day's of sail..

      I'll have to remember to dig out my camera some time and show you folks some other parts of the city.

      There's a Church that stands as a war memorial, left in its bombed out state in the centre of a major roundabout, and a bridge that's still filled with bullet/shell holes from being strafed during WWII. Plus a bunch of other stuff around the place thats worth a look, though be aware most of the city isn't as cute as the barbican – a lot of the town is fairly old and a bit run down with empty comercial properties.

      Tinside Lido!
      Overlooking Plymouth’s spectacular seafront, Tinside Lido is consistently voted in the top 10 of Europe’s outdoor pools. Built in 1935, the lido is archetypal of the then popular Art Deco style and is Grade II listed. Open only during the summer months, this beautiful salt water swimming pool is perfect for everyone and is fully accessible to people of all needs. As well as the pool itself, the facility also features a sun deck, which is generally considered to be one of the best places in Plymouth to soak up the sun, so remember to bring the sun cream.

      Plymouth is a beautiful and historic city. My ancestors were from Devon and neighbouring Cornwall they were in the Royal Navy, the Devonshire Regiment, and also farm workers and tin miners. I was based at Devonport, near Plymouth during my career with the Royal Navy. You mentioned hills and mountains, yes we have that too! A short car or train journey and you will be in Tavistock an ancient market town that was attacked by the Vikings! Tavistock is at the foot of Dartmoor, a beautiful national park. The environment is mountainous moorland and granite rock formations. All over Dartmoor, you can see the signs of thousands of years of industry going back as far as the Stone Age. You could also visit Princetown and its famous Prison. A prison built during the Napoleonic Wars by French and American prisoners. Many US tourists visit Princetown which was the inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes book, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. The ruined structure you mentioned, that looks like a ruined church on a hill on Mount Edgecombe, that's a Victorian folly. Basically, a very large garden feature that was built as a ruin to look like a much older building. It was a fashion about 150 years ago. Come to Plymouth, you will love it!

      A lot of the UK is quaint. The word has a bad connotation because people would use it in place of basic when they didn't want to seem rude. Quaint and Basic are very different things. Having a few pieces of good quality furniture that can be refurbed again and again is quaint. Ikea furniture that can be easily and affordably replaced is basic. If that makes sense. Most of my houses have come with Ikea stuff, and were really barebones basic. My parents on the other hand have antique side boards, a solid marble coffee table and a glass collection to rival a pub. Even though that sounds opulent, their house is very much homely and quaint. It feels like a home, not an office.

      I love seeing your positive reactions to our lovely home. I know Plymouth pretty well. Think you guys would loose it sitting on the Mayflower steps, it’s not restricted or anything. You could sit there munching some stunning street food, then pop to the aquarium that is just a few feet away. I’ve been there several times, but want to go back now.

      I loved the look on Lindseys face when he mentioned Plymouth hoe. The word hoe has a completely different meaning this side of the pond although for anyone visiting, Plymouth does also have a fine selection of prostitutes.

      The Barbican is an area that used to be merchant building, warehouses, as well as residential. There are 2 buildings that have been turned into museums (Elizabethan house and the Merchants house). Royal William yard used to be naval buildings.
