Plymouth

Plymouth is a sea-side English city located in Devon in Southwest England. In 1620, a group of pilgrims left Plymouth for the New World and established Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts, United States. In the seventeenth century, Plymouth was an important port town and once had a strong connection to early English piracy. It has long been an important commercial shipping port. Charles Darwin’s voyage on the HMS Beagle began in Plymouth.
