To the front ships going in and out and beautiful views. Lots of park benches. At the back the big wheel and people on rollaskates. Take a moment to look at the memorials

Love going here for walks especially at night when the Plymouth Eye is lit up. Lovely place to capture some beautiful sights and always enjoy a Chinese afterwards.

My two visits to Plymouth Hoe were 59 years apart but no different in history, views and general great feelings. I was glad to see that modernization has not removed the mini-golf. The memorials on the Hoe were all fantastic. Not sure I would have put the Ferris Wheel there but then if it helps tourism then so be it.... More

Plymouth Hoe is wonderful at any time of year and in any weather. It has fantastic views across Plymouth Sound and is a great walk from town down into the Barbican. Lots of nice bars along the way, not forgetting the lido. Well worth a visit.

Lets face it, this is one of the most fantastic views in the UK. The war memorials and the lighthouse are awe inspiring. The view, particularly on a warm sunny day (which to be fair is rare in Plymouth) is one of the beautiful you will ever see.

the Hoe,evertbody knows it,but it has been spoilt by the city council, who have filled in the seawater pools,took down the diveing board and generally messed up the seafront,but then Im not a holiday maker,so if your on holiday its OK,but to a local born and bred its rubbish

I enjoyed walking on the Hoe and looking out to sea. Very pleasant walk from the Grosvenor Hotel to the Barbican, past a busy marina with lots of interesting craft.
