Action on the pitch

If you prefer your spectator sports we have a number of highly successful teams in the city. Plymouth Argyle play their football at Home Park, Plymouth Albion play rugby at Brickfields and the Plymouth Raiders basketball team can be seen in action at Plymouth Pavilions.

Golfing and shooting

Tee off on the internationally renowned St Mellion Golf and Country Club, or try a round at one of the other fine courses in the area such as the Elfordleigh, China Fleet Country Club, Staddon Heights Golf Club and Yelverton Golf Club. Try out the new state of the art Driving Range at the Plymouth Golf Centre, or if you prefer a gun to a putter, there’s clay pigeon shooting at Newnham Park.

Sea and ski

Lovers of the sea will find Plymouth exceeds their dreams. Choices include windsurfing, canoeing, sailing, scuba diving, water skiing and RIB riding. The water is clean and clear, and the amenities are excellent, particularly at the many marinas and the Mount Batten Watersports Centre.

Especially for divers!

Dive on Europe’s first artificial reef. The Scylla, a former Royal Navy frigate, is situated in Whitsand Bay making Plymouth the ideal base for your diving trip.
