地点介绍

Today, we step ashore in a port steeped in maritime history and royal connections: Plymouth. This city’s rich legacy begins with the Mayflower , which set sail from Plymouth in 1620, carrying the first Pilgrims to America. Landing at Plymouth Bay, Massachusetts, this voyage marked a pivotal moment in Europe’s expansion to the ‘New World’, with over 30 million people today tracing their ancestry to its 102 passengers and crew from England and Leiden, Holland. Plymouth’s maritime heritage extends to Sir Francis Drake, a celebrated naval commander and explorer. Famous for circumnavigating the globe and defeating the Spanish Armada in 1588, Drake was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I aboard his ship, the Golden Hind , in Plymouth harbour. Over the centuries, Plymouth’s naval significance has deepened royal ties, with the late Duke of Edinburgh serving as Commodore-in-Chief for Plymouth. This enduring connection underscores Plymouth’s pivotal role in British naval history and its global influence. Choose to join a local guide on an exploration of their hometown of Plymouth or take a drive to the legendary Dartmoor National Park, before Douglas Mawson sails the Devonshire and Cornish coasts in the early afternoon. Personalise your exploration with our included ‘Your Choice’ experiences. Option 1 – Morning experience: Devon’s legendary moors Step into a wilder side of England as you journey across Dartmoor National Park — 592 sq.km (368 sq.mi) of raw, windswept beauty that has stirred imaginations for centuries. Along the way, indulge in a classic Devonshire treat: a traditional cream tea featuring a light-as-air scone, a dollop of rich local clotted cream, and a spoonful of homemade jam. Dartmoor’s brooding moors, granite tors, and ancient woodlands feel like pages from a storybook. It’s no wonder Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose this landscape as the setting for The Hound of the Baskervilles, and filmmakers continue to return for its haunting atmosphere. With luck, you’ll spot the iconic Dartmoor ponies, roaming freely as they have since Saxon times. We’ll pause for photos at scenic points along the route, before visiting the High Moorland Visitor Centre to uncover the park’s fascinating natural and cultural heritage. Option 2 – Morning experience: The Story of Plymouth Welcome to Plymouth, a city steeped in maritime heritage. Our locally guided tour starts in the historical Barbican, where the Pilgrim Fathers embarked on the Mayflower in 1620. Standing by the Mayflower Steps, you can almost hear the echoes of their momentous departure to the New World, a journey that would forever link Plymouth to American history. We wander up to Plymouth Hoe, to envision Sir Francis Drake calmly playing bowls as the Spanish Armada approached in 1588. The panoramic views of Plymouth Sound from the Hoe offer a glimpse into the natural harbour that has served as a vital naval base for centuries. On the headland, Plymouth Castle remains a military installation, its silhouette serving as a reminder of the city’s strategic importance through the ages. Our tour ends with a drive to the Royal William Yard. This beautifully restored naval victualling yard, now bustling with restaurants, galleries and shops, perfectly blends Plymouth’s rich maritime past with its vibrant present.
