- First see the departure point of the
Pilgrim Fathers on their voyage to the New World, also where famous
seafarers such as Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Francis Drake, John
Hawkins and Captain Bligh of the Bounty set off. Commencing at
Phoenix Wharf we turn into Plymouth Sound passing under the guns
drawn out on the royal citadel fortress, along the front of the
unspoilt Plymouth Hoe with it's impressive Naval War Memorial,

rocks.
