South West Coast Path
Explore the Plymouth section of the famous South West Coast Path. Start your journey at the Cremyll Ferry port and work your way through the stunning surroundings of the Royal William Yard, along Devil's Point and the breathtaking Firestone Bay. The guide eventually takes you along the scenic Plymouth Hoe waterfront, The Barbican before ending up at the iconic Mount Batten Pier where you can look back across the city.
Mount Edgcumbe
Take a short trip on the Edgcumbe Belle Ferry and you'll arrive at the slipway of the picturesque Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park.
Take a wander through the immaculate gardens of the park and visit the shingle beaches as you go which offer fantastic views across Plymouth Sound National Marine Park to the Royal William Yard, Plymouth Hoe, Jennycliff and beyond.
Royal William Yard Geo Trail
Walk beside the water with the Royal William Yard Geo Trail. The interactive trail takes you on a route through the impressive yard, which is the largest collection of grade-one listed military buildings in Europe.
Use the trail to learn more fascinating facts about the Yard as well as Plymouth, scanning the QR codes that are dotted around the local area as you go.
Bigbury-on-Sea Beach
Take a 20-minute drive along the stunning Devon coastline and you'll find the mesmerising Bigbury-on-Sea beach. The sandy shores are a superb venue for a winter stroll. Check out the unique Burgh Island by strolling across the causeway at low tide and you are graced with jaw-dropping views out to sea and along the coastline.
Jennycliff Beach
This hidden gem boasts arguably some of the best views across Plymouth.
Take a short drive from the city centre or a trip on one of the regular ferries from the Barbican Landing Stage to access Jennycliff Beach, which offers an alternative perspective across the Plymouth Sound National Marine Park and one of the best places to watch the sunset beyond the horizon.
