Discover Plymouth
Plymouth is a coastal city in Devon, set between the Tamar and Plym estuaries on Plymouth Sound. A large naval dockyard and marine engineering base sit alongside waterfront regeneration, and the Hoe, the Barbican and the Royal William Yard give the city its character. Stonehouse, Devonport and Mutley are among the districts. People need to be in Plymouth for marine, defence and regeneration work. The city is served by mainline rail, the waterfront and dockyard are close to the city centre, and the station is a short walk away. The A38 gives road access east and west. The area offers a good range of shops, restaurants and everyday services close to where people are working. WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Plymouth and handles the whole search through one point of contact.
