      The Hoe is a beautiful area of Plymouth with panoramic views over the Plymouth Sound. On sunny days, it's a popular place to enjoy a picnic on the grass or go for a swim in the art deco Tinside Lido, which is open during the summer.

      Look out for the statue of Sir Francis Drake, the local hero and famous explorer, located on the green. He played a game of bowls here before defeating the Spanish Armada in 1588.
