The Black Friars Distillery, the working home of Plymouth Gin since 1793, is the oldest working gin distillery in England. The building dates back to the early 1400’s and where the Mayflower Fathers are said to have spent their last night before setting sail in the Mayflower to the New World.
The World-famous Plymouth Hoe offers beautiful scenic views. Popular legend has it that it was here, on 20th July 1588, that the Elizabethan Sea-Captain Sir Francis Drake was playing bowls when first news of sightings of the invading "Spanish Armada" was brought to him.
A centerpiece on Plymouth Hoe, Smeaton's Tower has become one of the South West's most well-known landmarks. Standing at 72 foot high, Smeaton's Tower offers fantastic views of Plymouth Sound and the city from its lantern room.
