Little more than concrete steps. American tourists come to see part of their history and are always disappointed More

As all locals know but few Americans get told, these are NOT the steps from which the 'Pilgrims' left but an early twentieth century commemorative stucture. As explained in other reviews the embarkation point was probabably in or near the site of a nearby pub. If ill informed north americans chose to fantasise over a bogus icon then it is... More

Mayflower Steps a must for all americans as the Mayflower left from these steps. Torpudle Martyers were also transported from here. More

love the whole area interested in the history, well maintained and cleancan often take a boat tripfrom there More

Plenty of history and many things around to lok at other then the steps. Every American thinks his ancestors left from these steps but they are not in the original place More

I live in Plmouth and I am alwasy disapointed by how little is made of the historic Mayflower steps. If I was a tourist tracing my roots from the Pilgrim Fathers I would be very let down by the site. If this was in the states it would be very different. Plymouth needs to make much more of its history. More

If you're in Plymouth it's worth going to the Barbican area, and if you're on the Barbican then it's worth going to the Mayflower steps. They're nothing overwhelming, but from them you can go on boat trips or simply absorb the history around you. More

My understanding is that this is not quite where embarkation occurred but it doesn't really matter. Just imagine yourself back four hundred years... plus The Barbican is such an interesting place, anyway. More

We enjoyed seeing the Mayflower Steps and then going in the museum accross the road to learn more about their voyage etc. It was reasonably priced at £2 per person and the exhibition/museum was split over three floors with intractions to keep kids and adults entertained alike! More
