It’s the last weekend of dry January, need a bit of motivation? Get out and about for a nice walk with family or friends, eat some delicious grub or watch a film. There's plenty of things to enjoy here in Plymouth in the cold winter months.
Walk with stunning views
Not only do we have the stunning views across Plymouth Sound from the Hoe, but there are also plenty of gorgeous countryside and woodlands to explore within easy reach, including Ham Valley and Plymbridge Woods. Use the ferry links to access Mount Batten, Mount Edgcumbe or Cawsands. Plus we’ve got Dartmoor National Park right on our doorstep. Walking is the perfect way to explore the outdoors whilst getting some great exercise.
Ever thought about giving running a go?
You can get fit without spending a penny! The couch to 5k is a great place to start, and Plymouth has an abundance of great places to give it a go. Here are a few suggestions: Saltram, Plym Valley, or one of the many parks including the largest in Plymouth - Central Park. Take in the sea air from Mount Batten and try running out to the pier. You may feel inspired to enter Britain's Ocean City Running Festival, on 19 June 2022, encompassing the Half Marathon, 5K and 10K.
Watch a film
After all that exercise, relax and enjoy Plymouth's only independent cinema, Plymouth Arts Cinema, where this weekend you can watch: A Hero (12A), Directed by Asghar Farhadi. This Cannes Grand Prix-winning drama is showing from Friday 28 January to Wednesday 2 February.
Taste French Cuisine
Book a weekend meal at the charming and friendly Bistrot Pierre located in Royal William Yard.
Inspired by travels around France their menus combine bistrot classics with new seasonal dishes including the popular Steak-frites and crème brûlée, as well as lighter salads and fresh fish dishes.

Dartmoor is not just about the landscape; there's a lot more to it than that. It's not just about the ponies, or the tors, the history or the heritage; but that's a good start. It's about getting out there, experiencing new things.

Central Park is the largest park in Plymouth. It was originally created in 1928 as a park devoted to the improvement of the health of city residents.
Few cities can rival Plymouth's rich seafaring heritage, its stunning waterfront and natural harbour, its vibrant cultural life and its close proximity to some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK. Make history by running with us in the Britain's Ocean City Running Festival!
