Plymouth is renowned for its maritime history, which includes Drake and the Pilgrim Fathers.

The City has excellent road connections with the A38 providing access west to Cornwall and east to the national motorway network at Junction 31 of the M5 Motorway at Exeter. Plymouth's mainline railway station provides regular services to London Paddington of just over three hours. There are also other direct services to Bristol, the Midlands, the North, Scotland and South Wales. Exeter Airport is approximately 50 miles away and Newquay Airport is approximately 45 miles away.
