Plymouth Synagogue

Reviewed By laurengN126SP

I visited the synagogue while on holiday in Cornwall and can honestly say it was the highlight of the trip. Tucked away off of St Catherine Street, you'd be forgiven for missing it altogether but it's certainly not hiding away, as explained by the wonderful Jerry who showed a group of 6 of us around. Named as the caretaker, he is far more than that. He gave us 2.5 hours of history of Plymouth, Judaism and the Jewish community in Plymouth. The hours felt like minutes and we could have gone on much longer. The building itself is stunning and you can feel the sacred presence and history there, if you are of any faith or none at all, it is well worth a visit. From the stained glass windows to the opulent artefacts, you will be mesmerised by the beauty and peace to be found inside the shul. The building is a jewel, Jerry deserves a medal for all his hard work keeping this beautiful building going and if you do visit you may well meet the gorgeous Synagogue cat Dexter. You will not be disappointed.

Had a great family day out visiting this place, an hour in the virtual escape room for a family of four in the morning and then letting our teenage kids have a 30 minute session on single player games of their choosing. The staff were really attentive and helpful, doing everything they could to ensure that we had an enjoyable time. Highly recommended.

Smeaton's Tower

Smeaton's Tower is closed over the winter of 2019 for repainting. It will re-open in spring 2020. A centrepiece on Plymouth's Hoe, Smeaton's Tower is one of the city's most recognisable and well-loved landmarks. The lighthouse was originally built out on the notorious Eddystone Reef in 1759. It was taken down in the early 1880s and approximately two thirds of its structure moved stone by stone to its current resting place. Now standing at 72 feet high, it offers brilliant views of Plymouth Sound and beyond.

Reviewed By FionaN950 - Villach, Austria

Visited with my sister and brother-in-law on their most recent visit to Plymouth. It’s very interesting and the view across the Hoe is awesome. Incredible to think this is the third of four lighthouses to be built on the Eddystone rocks, with the current lighthouse visible on the horizon on a clear day. Originally built from Cornish granite in 1759, it was taken down in the early 1880s when it was discovered that it was being undermined by the sea. The base of Smeaton's Tower still in position next to the current Eddystone Lighthouse. You can find out about all four lighthouses on your visit. It is possible to go to the very top and to go outside onto the balcony area around the light, on the way up to the lantern room, which is particularly cool!
