Plymouth holidays
Plymouth holidays offer a delightful coastal town in New England, steeped in American history and tradition. Located just one hour south of Boston, Plymouth holidays hold a historic importance in Americas' past, with the town famous for being the spot in Massachusetts where, in 1620, the Pilgrim Fathers first landed from England. Nearly one million visitors come to the town every year to learn about the Mayflowers' treacherous voyage and the pilgrims' landing on Plymouth Rock, with Plymouth holidays providing plenty of history and insight into the towns' famous past.
Holidays in Plymouth - Visit the historic landmarks, and experience a slice of the past
Plymouth itself is a seaside town, ideally situated close to many of New Englands' attractions such as Boston, Providence and Cape Cod, with its main draw undoubtedly being the historic sites and landmarks. Most choose a holiday to Plymouth to see the famous Plymouth Rock - a small boulder which still sits in the towns' harbour, and serves as a tribute to the countrys' past and to its' founding fathers - or to visit the Plimouth Plantation, an outdoor museum just outside town (spelled in the Old English way). Here, visitors on a holiday to Plymouth can see a living history exhibition, which has been recreated to show the original settlement and how the pilgrims lived, with actors, both in costume and character, on hand to answer questions in 17th century dialect. Another popular attraction to see whilst on holiday in Plymouth is the full-scale replica of the Mayflower, complete with modern day guides, moored on the waterfront.
Plymouth holidays - Enjoy whale-watching or deep-sea fishing from the picturesque harbour
