Through Devon’s Historic Heart
Located on England’s picturesque south coast, the port city of Plymouth is steeped in
maritime history. This was once the departure point for legendary voyages: Sir Francis Drake set
sail from here, and in 1620, the Pilgrims boarded the *Mayflower* to begin their journey to the
New World.
Today, our ship is anchored in the wide bay. We transfer to shore by tender boats
and begin our excursion into the green, rolling countryside of Devon**, skirting the edge of the
Dartmoor National Park.
