I find it quite safe and I’m living alone as a woman. I do go for runs at night at night and people are friendly and nice. I have been told to avoid the Central Park at night due to no lights so to navigate your way is quite difficult.

Plymouth is generally a safe and friendly city, especially in the daytime and popular areas. As with any place, basic awareness at night is recommended, but mostly feel comfortable exploring and getting around at night is still safe.

I've lived in Plymouth for more than 2yrs now as an international student but I have never faced any issue related to safety at all. I walked home after my night shift and nothing ever happened to me. You will see some homeless people near the city centre and all but seriously no one has ever harmed me or anything.
