View of Plymouth Sound and Hooe

Highlight • Viewpoint

Cattedown Road is a street in Plymouth, a city in the southwest of England. The street runs parallel to the River Plym and is part of the Cattedown district, which has a rich maritime history. Cattedown was once an important fishing, shipbuilding and trading port. It was also the site of a number of limestone caves, where Plymouth's oldest human remains were found. The panorama of Cattedown Road is very interesting, as it shows a contrast between the industrial past and the modern present of the city. You can admire the view of the river, the old and new bridges, the gasometers, the shipyards and the flats from the street or from a walking path or bike path along the river bank.

Sutton Lock Footbridge

Highlight • Cycleway

Sutton lock footbridge is a swing bridge over the lock that controls access to Sutton Harbor in Plymouth, a city in the southwest of England. The bridge was installed in 1998 as part of the lock, which has a double function: managing the risk of flooding and allowing maritime traffic, such as fishing boats, to enter the harbour. The bridge was closed in August 2017 after a bearing broke, but reopened in April 2019 after repairs.

Tinside Lido

Highlight • Rest Area

From this spot, Francis Drake (1540-1596) is said to have seen the invincible Spanish Armada coming in 1588, but nevertheless decided to finish his ball game before going into battle. It is more likely that he has been waiting for the tide to turn. What is certain is that this place offers an ideal view of the shipping traffic in the Sound, the natural harbor at the mouth of the Tamar and the Plym
