Devil's Point is a location on the eastern side of the mouth of the Tamar River where it meets the English Channel at Plymouth Sound. It is a historic, ecological and geological site with stunning views across the Hamoaze to Mount Edgcumbe in Cornwall and across Plymouth Sound to Drake's Island and beyond.
Devil's Point has also played a military role, with a former reservoir supplying the iconic Royal William Yard next door and still visible defenses from the Second World War. You might imagine seeing Darwin's ship, The Beagle, anchoring at Barn Pool in 1837, just before he embarked on his famous circumnavigation of the world, or watching Napoleon pacing the deck of HMS Bellerophon, which sailed in July 1815 at anchor in the Sound before being exiled to St. Helena.
