With the wind coming up off the sea and no trees or obsitcals in the way, the Hoe is a great place to fly a kite. But watch out in summer, it gets very busy and a kite takes space. March is the best time to go for a kite flyer - Not too many people, lots of wind and... More

I love it on the Hoe. I'm biased. I'm a Plymouth boy, but I don't care. The view out seems to stretch forever and on a good day, bad day, whatever it is simply beautiful. Throw in a clutch of cafes, restaurants kids adventure playgrounds that haven't change in 25 odd years and you have my idea of a perfect... More

Plymouth Hoe is definitely worth a visit. The scenery on a fine day is truly awesome. A photographer's delight. A leisurely walk along the sea front prom allows you to drink in all the splendour of the place. There are plenty of places offering refreshments along the way.

the hoe and barbican are the pride of plymouth, you can walk from the barbican to the hoe or vice versa with great views out to sea and of mount edgecumbe country park. Lots of relaxed restaurants and cafes, ice cream parlours, smeatons tower and the plymouth eye. Also a large grass area with the newly rebuilt fun park attached.

Weather permitting Plymouth Hoe is a place to sit and relax read a book, have a picnic, take in the activities going on around you. Out at sea there is always something happening. The Navy ships of all sizes coming and going. There are places just below the Hoe to have a drink and a bite to eat. An enjoyable... More
