Radford Park is a beautiful green space on the edge of Plymstock with a rich history. A grand Elizabethan property stood in the park originally, Radford House, owned by the Harris family for over 500 years. Hosting parties attended by figures such as Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Francis Drake, this was quite the place to be seen.

Demolished in the late 1930s after falling into disrepair, only the grounds remain. The park is free to walk around and offers many interesting sights and viewpoints including over Hooe Lake.

The 19th-century castle is a particularly pretty sight and marks the end of the West Devon Way.
