A beautiful granite outcrop overlooking the Plym valley, and surrounding woodland. The cliff itself is a somewhat stark contrast to the rest of the moor, it's lush and tree lined, rather than wind-swept and desolate. Even the rock type is much different, it's generally much finer and smoother granite, rather than the big sharp crystals as found elsewhere on the moor. The cliff offers some fantastic rock climbing, and some brilliant open views.

Kit Hill sits high above the Tamar Valley, overlooking the river and the valley it formed. The hill boasts a wide array of history, including 18 burial mounds, neolithic and bronze-age barrows, as well as pointers towards Cornwall's more contemporary mining history.

The Hoe is a large limestone plateau on the edge of which is the citadel. In the park on the Hoe there is a large collection of impressive monuments to the great seafaring nation, including the first circumnavigator Francis Drake, the victory over the Spanish Armada and the two World Wars. Built in front of the sea is the Tinside seawater outdoor pool in Art Deco style, which is definitely worth looking for, and the huge, freely accessible sea bathing area right next to it with a bit of Lost Place charm.

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.
