The Mayflower Steps

Plymouth, United Kingdom

The Mayflower Steps

is a twentieth century commemorative feature built close to the site where the Pilgrim Fathers left aboard the repaired ''Mayflower'', before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to live in North America. Today boat trips leave from there for tours of Plymouth Sound, although the original site is believed to

be where the Admiral McBride public house now stands. (Although the Mayflower Steps still are where tourists stand and look). On shore, opposite the steps, is a building which houses an exhibition about the Pilgrim Fathers and the ''Mayflower'', as well as housing the city's Tourist Information Centre.
