About us
A dramatic 17th century fortress built to defend the coastline from the Dutch, and keep watch on a recently rebellious town, the Royal Citadel on Plymouth Hoe is still in use by the military today.

Guided tours
On behalf of English Heritage, and by kind permission of 29 Commando Royal Artillery, join your Guide on this walking tour of the Royal Citadel. Learn about the 350 years plus of the stories the fortress has to offer. Commanding a prominent position on the limestone ridge of Plymouth Hoe, and looking out over the expanse of Plymouth Sound and into the English Channel and the Western Approaches, it has seen the unfolding of so many events in the nation's history.
Tours run every Saturday from April to September starting at 2pm.
