LOCATION

Just a short walk away from The Millfields lies the historic Royal William Yard, another formal Royal Navy installation - nowadays a thriving metropolis of bars, restaurants, shops and galleries, combining sympathetically restored architecture with a modern, vibrant atmosphere. Also within walking distance are the Cremyll ferry dock, the Theatre Royal and Plymouth's Drake Circus shopping centre.

Along the coastline to the east lies The Hoe, offering stunning views of Plymouth Sound and showcasing one of southwest England's most famous landmarks - Smeaton's Tower. Further, beyond The Hoe, lie the cobbled streets of the Barbican, affording immersive insights into Plymouth's rich and varied history.
