Our gorgeous South West Coast path takes in over 630 miles of stunning coastal walking and hiking - ideal to do in stages or short hops, with many circular routes to be found along the way. We are ideally situated to join the Path, as you just walk out the front door, through the woods and join the trail heading either east or west. Take your dogs, take a picnic, the children or that special person, views like these are hard to find.

Plymouth Gin Distillery is the oldest distillery still remaining on its original site. Based on Plymouth Elizabethan Barbican, there is a restaurant, a bar, a gift shop and three different priced tours of the distillery, culminating in the Masterclass allowing you to taste different gins and then create your own. It is also the building where the Pilgrim Fathers rested overnight before joining the Mayflower Ship to set sail from the Mayflower Steps (just along the waterfront street) for America. Their names are all listed on a board inside this original building. https://plymouthdistillery.com/age-gat

Walks
With rolling green hills, an arboretum, a lake, ruins and a view across to Hooe Lake, Radford Park makes a lovely day out. The park is situated in the grounds of the former Radford House, a grand Tudor building and home of the Harris Family and their successors the Bulteels. In its day, the house was one of the finest in England, frequented by Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh. The castle and causeway were built in the mid-19th century. Despite their appearance, they are not defensive structures but were built as accommodation for the estate's 'keeper'.
