"Katie and Sam Congdon opened specialist Vessel Beer Shop on Plymouth's Exeter Street in December 2016, to tap into the UK's thirst for craft beers. Their venture took off pretty fast and became such a hit they've begun staging their own beer festivals, showcasing beers from all over the UK. The Vessel Beer Festival 2019 gave about 1,500 brew guzzlers the chance to sample beers and ciders from the UK and Europe."

"This year, Steel Brew became the first business to open in the Royal William Yard’s Grade II listed Melville building – and its inaugural brew was a free “thank you” gift for key workers. Its young team all live in the same house and back in April were the only ones working in the brewery and taking precautions not to come into contact with anyone else. Steel Brew Co was already a familiar name to regulars at Royal William Yard, having appeared as a pop-up at the popular Yard Sessions music events last summer and at the Good Food and Craft Markets."

"It's been off-limits for many years to everyone except film crews, but since spring 2017 Charlestown's historic port has reopened to the public. You can now wander round the Georgian quays, and with a bit of luck, step on board a tall ship docked alongside the harbour, the Kasjamoor, built in 1939. It's worth ringing ahead to doublecheck the port is open, as it's sometimes closed for filming.Joint tickets with the Charlestown Shipwreck & Heritage Centre are available."

"When you’re in a city with the largest naval base in Western Europe it’s only natural to be curious about its military history. HMNB Devonport has a visitor centre that you can check out by appointment. This attraction documents the dockyard’s growth over the centuries and Plymouth’s role in seaborne warfare since the 14th century."

"If you’re interested in exploring more of Plymouth’s maritime history, then head over to the Devonport Naval Heritage Centre. The museum walks you through the whole development of the Dockyardand keeps the records of Plymouth’s crucial support to the Royal Navy. All of which’s pretty interesting."

"So many different flavours my current favourites are Lemon & Seaweed / Toffee Vodka & White Chocolate. 06/01/2021: Always visit when in Charlestown. Best place for take away hot chocolates, pasty’s, ice creams and more."

"Here you can browse 22 delicious flavours from award winning Devonshire Yarde Farm Ice Cream, fresh milkshakes, smoothies, and hot and cold drinks. As the weather gets warmer, try sorbets, frozen yoghurts as well as ice pops, a selection of other ice lollies, smoothies, ice cream floats and sundaes. Don't leave without relishing its location."

"At the head of the Tamar Valley sits the Tudor manor of Cotehele, one of the Edgcumbe dynasty's modest country retreats. The cavernous great hall is the centrepiece, and the house has an unparalleled collection of Tudor tapestries, armour and furniture.Outside, the gardens sweep down past the 18th-century Prospect Folly to Cotehele Quay, where there's a discovery centre exploring the history of the Tamar Valley and a vintage sailing barge, the Shamrock."

"On the east side of Plymouth Hoe stands the Royal Citadel, built in the 1600s during the Dutch Wars in the reign of King Charles II. It was designed by the Dutch military engineer Bernard de Gomme in an unorthodox configuration, using local limestone. The Royal Citadel is still a military base controlled by the British Army, but you can come for guided two-hour tours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from April to September. You can go up to the ramparts, still armed with cannons, to look across the Plymouth Sound."

"Suceava's rugged, abandoned 14th-century citadel has gotten a high-tech makeover, allowing visitors to scramble over the rocks and into the various chambers and learn the structure's history through clever video presentations and hands-on touchscreen exhibits. It's great for kids, the only downside being most of the text and video is only in Romanian. The unconquerable fortress withstood multiple attacks, including one by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1475, just 22 years after his conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul)."

"Right next to Hoe Park, the Royal Citadel is a historic fortress that has defended the coastline since the 17th century. Nowadays, you can head inside to explore the citadel and visit spots like the Royal Chapel of St. Katherine-upon-the-Hoe. Plus, from here, you’ll also get some superb views of Plymouth Sound (from near the ramparts which are still armed with cannons)."
