    Smeaton's Tower on the Hoe

    Plymouth

    June 8, 2022 in England ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    It's a tiny village you've probably never heard of it. If you found Looe having two Coops as startling as I did, then hearing that Plymouth has 30 Coops could well give you a stroke. It also happens to have seven Lidls, five Wetherspoonses and an en-route McDonalds. Apparently Sir Francis Drake concluded a game of bowls down on the hoe, where Smeaton's tower now stands, just before sailing out to defeat the Spanish armada (bet he skilled Ortega). Nowadays it's clearly still got naval significance as I could see a giant warship circling from where I was (not) sleeping all night.

    Edit: Plymouth is horrible lol

    TravelerWhen you said you'd visit all Spoons en route does that mean you're visiting 5 today?
