Mayflower Steps

The Barbican, Plymouth, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 1752 264849

For many years Plymouth had nothing to commemorate the place where the Pilgrim Fathers took their leave of the Plymouth shore to set out for a new life of religious freedom in America. Then, in 1891, descendents of the original Pilgrims paid tribute to the spot by laying the Mayflower Stone. In 1934, the Mayor of Plymouth added a stone gateway over the Mayflower Stone and called it "The White Gateway to the Ocean". Visitors, especially Americans, have always flocked to this site on the historic Barbican, and to the plaque on which the names of the Pilgrim Fathers, their wives and servants are recorded. This is found very close by, on the side of the Island Tourist Information Office. The Mayflower Steps is one of the prime spots in Plymouth for commemorative photographs.
