Devonport Tower (2)

 looking towards Plymouth Sound from the circular viewing platform at the top of the tower.

On the right hand side of the picture, the River Tamar flows out into The Sound.

The River Plym flows into The Sound from the other side.

When you sail out of the Sound turn to Starboard (right) for the Atlantic Ocean, and Port (left) to sail along the English Channel, through the narrows between England and France, at Dover, and on up into the North Sea. If you sail straight out and keep going South for about 95 miles,you will reach the beautiful Breton town of Roscoff. 

You may notice on the near bank of the Tamar  a tall, slender mast on a green hill, come back tomorrow and take a closer look.
