Local Area

Plymouth, the capital of the south west and the largest city on the south coast is home to almost 250,000 people. It is a city of great contrasts with its modern, pedestrianised shopping centre and the Medieval Barbican, a waterside haven of restaurants, pubs and shops.

• Large indoor sporting area in the City Centre.
