Mayflower400 partner destinations:
Mayflower 400 UK has been presenting three series of digital programmes in the build-up to the 400-year anniversary of the ship's historic voyage.
One of those is Virtual Voyages which showcases the places woven into the Mayflower story.
Watch our episodes below to discover hidden secrets and fascinating insights, told through the eyes of the people who live and breath the stories of the colonists.
Enjoy an exclusive guided tour of the Mayflower 400: Legend and Legacy exhibition at The Box in Plymouth.
You’ll also get a glimpse the exhibition’s remarkable wall of descendants, covered in dozens of faces of those who are descended from the ship’s original passengers.
Discover the homes, places and roots of two of the leading figures in the Mayflower story, William Brewster and William Bradford, as we explore the historic villages clustered together in north Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire.
Discover how the Mayflower Pilgrims made a daring escape despite being betrayed, locked up and hauled before the courts in our Virtual Voyage of Boston, UK.
Join us on our Virtual Voyage as we explore 17th century Dorking, the picturesque Surrey town once home to the shoemaker William Mullins and his family.
A city walk through the historic city centre of Leiden with our friends at Mayflower 400 NL, while explaining the fascinating story of Leiden in the Golden Age and the role of the Pilgrims during this period.
Discover a Virtual Voyage of Plymouth with a tour of this famous seafaring city, the Mayflower’s final stop before it crossed the Atlantic in 1620.
Take a tour of the beautiful walled city of Southampton - a key location in the Mayflower story. The Mayflower arrived in Southampton in late July 1620 and several days later was joined by the Speedwell, carrying the Pilgrims from Leiden.
Presented by Blue Badge guide Julia Brewer and historian Dr Cheryl Butler, our Virtual Voyage looks at some of the fascinating stories of the people who came from the city and played a crucial role in the Mayflower voyage and beyond.
Discover the stories behind how the Mayflower’s journey across the Atlantic was funded, the commercial reasons for why the ship sailed and the people involved in financing its crossing in the heart of what we now know as the Square Mile.
In this Virtual Voyage, we speak to triple round-the-world yachtsman Conrad Humphreys about what the journey would have been like for the crew and the Mayflower's passengers.
Conrad, who is based in the city of Plymouth, takes us into Plymouth Sound - the waters the colonists would have sailed before the perilous journey, to give us an insight into the conditions, the tools the skipper would have used and what the boat itself would have been like.
This Virtual Voyage looks at the life of the Pilgrims as it was in January 1621.
It explores the Mayflower passengers' first winter in America and how they survived to create their settlement.
Many of the children who had sailed on the ship died, became orphans or for those who had travelled as wards to other families – they were living in a land in which they did not know how to survive.
In this Virtual Voyage, we look at who these children were, what we know about them and what became of them.
You'll be the first to hear the latest Mayflower news, events, and more.
