Plymouth is a port city in Devon, south-west England, which includes the major naval base of Devonport.
It was from Plymouth that Sir Francis Drake sailed to do battle with the Spanish Armada in 1588, and Plymouth was also the final landfall of the Pilgrim Fathers before they sailed for the New World.
The city was very heavily bombed during the Second World War.
