Virtual tour of Plymouth.

Introduction.
If you'd like to take a closer look at Plymouth and its surroundings, then here's your chance. To have the best view you'll need to have a copy of Apple's QuickTime viewer (version 3 or later) installed on your computer - you can then use the QTVR links below to view QuickTime Virtual Reality (VR) panoramas of the City.

If you don't have QuickTime then you can still get a better look at Plymouth - use the Wide links below to see the VR panoramas flattened out into w....i....d....e pictures.

  • Please note that some of the files used here are quite big - they could take a minute or so to download (depending on the speed of your web connection).
