Directions to the Rusty Anchor Bed and Breakfast.

From all directions follow the signs to the Continental Ferry Port (be careful not to confuse this with the Torpoint Ferry signs). Then pick up signs for The Hoe until you see a sign for WEST HOE. (don't worry if you pass the first signs for The Hoe, there are plenty more!).

The WEST HOE signs will lead you on to Grand Parade. We are situated on the right hand side of the road just after the road bears away from the sea.

Parking

Visitors are asked to park on the left hand side of the one way system,  parking is free from 4.00pm to 10.00 a.m. All day parking tickets can be purchased at the guest house for £3.00 per day.

What can I do and see whilst I am in Plymouth?


The historic city of Plymouth is probably most famous for its Hoe, where Sir Francis Drake played bowls whilst the Spanish Armada advanced, but it has a wealth of other attractions whatever your interests.

The Barbican is the fishing and boating heart of the city and home to the Mayflower steps where in 1620 some one hundred and fifty men, women and children, left these shores bound for a new life in America. The Barbican offers cobbled streets, historic houses and numerous alfresco cafes, restaurants and bars. It is also the starting point for boat trips to Devonport Naval dockyard, fishing trips and longer, picturesque trips up the rivers Tamar and Yealm. Or if speed is more your scene, why not try a ride in a fast rib around the Sound - not for the faint-hearted! The National Marine Aquarium is close by - the largest in Europe.

If you are here for the shopping, you won’t be disappointed. The city centre can offer you all the big names, including the new and very popular Drake Circus Shopping Mall. But try and see the Independent Quarter, which includes the Pannier Market and many interesting small shops. There are also many street markets in the city centre throughout the year.

Plymouth also boasts The Pavilions, offering an Ice Rink, a ‘Beach-Style’ swimming pool and regular shows featuring world renowned names in its huge auditorium. There are also three theatres in the city centre - The Theatre Royal, which stages West End shows and the Drum and Atheneum Theatres, which offer more alternative or local productions.

Further afield, why not explore Mount Edgecumbe House and Country Park on the Cornwall side of the Tamar river, reached either by foot passenger ferry, or by car/bus over the Torpoint car ferry, or take a scenic train journey following the Tamar river up to Gunnislake, or a trip down to Looe.

Just to the north of the city is the beautiful, wild, Dartmoor, with brooding Tors, a sinister prison, wild ponies and beautiful villages. The Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and historic houses such as Cothele, Castle Drogo, Saltram House and The Garden House are just a drive away.

For the children, Devon and Cornwall offer Fun Parks, Zoos, Wildlife Parks and, or course, loads of great beaches.
