Plymouth Hoe, affectionately known locally as simply “The Hoe”, is one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks and has been at the heart of Plymouth’s maritime story for centuries. Its name derives from the Old English word “hoh”, referring to the high, sloping ridge that overlooks Plymouth Sound.

Perhaps its most famous historical association is with Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada in 1588, with legend holding that Drake continued his game of bowls on The Hoe before setting sail to confront the approaching fleet. The area has also played an important role in Plymouth’s military history, with the imposing Royal Citadel, constructed following the Restoration, continuing to occupy its commanding waterfront position today.

Plymouth itself has connections with some of the most celebrated voyages in British maritime history, including the sailing of the Mayflower in 1620, the explorations of Captain James Cook, Charles Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle and, centuries later, the return of Sir Francis Chichester following his solo circumnavigation.

Today, The Hoe is characterised by its sweeping lawns, historic monuments and uninterrupted relationship with the sea. Smeaton’s Tower, the distinctive former Eddystone Lighthouse, has become one of Plymouth’s defining landmarks and stands prominently above the waterfront.

Combining fascinating history, spectacular scenery, coastal walks and excellent access to the city, this is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy life in one of Plymouth’s most sought-after locations, all wrapped up in a flat that feels every bit as welcoming as it does impressive.
