Plymouth is a city of history, beauty and pleasure combining the old with the new. In 1620 the Pilgrim
Fathers chose Plymouth as the starting point of their historic voyage to Massachusetts, North America in
a ship called "The Mayflower". Now, Plymouth is a modern city of 275,000 people offering a wide range of
shops, pubs, restaurants, theatres, sports facilities, etc. The surrounding countryside of Dartmoor and
Cornwall is some of the most spectacular and naturally beautiful in Britain.
Plymouth is one of the most attractive cities in the whole of the UK. In fact in 2014 Plymouth was named
the “Best City in the UK for Families to Live In” (see here).
Plymouth's size means that it has a great deal to offer while avoiding many of the social problems found
in some of England's larger cities. In addition, there are very few language schools in Plymouth. This
means that unlike Bournemouth, Brighton, London, Oxford, Cambridge, etc. you will not find many
other foreign students in Plymouth. This means you will have far more opportunity to speak English
and far less temptation to speak your own language. Video 1 | Video 2
