Plymouth is a small rural community in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, Canada.
It is located approximately 3 km south of the town of New Glasgow.
Now largely dominated by mixed farming and near-urban sprawl, Plymouth is home to the site of the Westray Mine.
A methane gas explosion in the mine on May 9, 1992, which killed 26 miners, placed Plymouth in the international media spotlight for almost a week during the failed rescue efforts, with the local community centre, opposite the mine site, becoming a symbol of the area.
