Flags, The Hoe
Flags, The Hoe
Plymouth Hoe, referred to locally as the Hoe or Hoe park is a large south facing open public space in Plymouth. The Hoe is adjacent to and above the low limestone cliffs that form the seafront and it commands views of Plymouth Sound, Drake's Island, and across the Hamoaze to Mount Edgcumbe in Cornwall. The name derives from the Anglo-Saxon word Hoe, a sloping ridge shaped like an inverted foot and heel.
