Plymouth Hoe, Grade II listed park in Plymouth, England.
Plymouth Hoe spans 15 hectares of green space along a ridge, offering extensive views across Plymouth Sound and the English Channel.
The site gained recognition when Sir Francis Drake played bowls in 1588 before departing to face the Spanish Armada from Plymouth Harbor.
The parkland contains numerous monuments including the Naval War Memorial, RAF Memorial, and Armada Memorial that document British maritime achievements.
The park remains open 24 hours daily with wide tarmac paths, multiple entrances from Hoe Road, and public facilities near Valenti's café.
Smeaton's Tower lighthouse stands reconstructed on the Hoe after being relocated from its original position 14 miles out at sea.
