Royal William Yard

Royal William Yard is a really stylish development to the south west of Plymouth. There are independent and chain restaurants and retail all arranged sensitively within beautiful old architecture and right next to the water. There are lots of great photo opportunities around the area, which looks out onto the miniature islands nearby and to the ocean on the south side. You can also get a ferry around the headlands, depending on tides and weather. It’s well worth a visit.

Lovely little area in Plymouth, good food places to pick from here.Sadly only one shop here, would love to have had more shops here.Nice walks that can be done in this area.

Went to RWY to hear some live music on Friday as one of the free events put on and then dinner at Pho. Really enjoyable evening with friends and Wimbledon was streamed on a big screen on the lawn.Great place to relax, we took our own snacks and drinks for the music but there is plenty of choice of venues to eat and drink

What a fantastic place to visit. Wonderful historic buildings to look at a d plenty of place to sit and eat/drink. Carpark was £1 per hour which we thought was fair. Looked at the sea through a Wonderful archway and sat in the late afternoon sunshine. Very pleased that we were encouraged to visit this place.

Royal William Yard is a fabulous combination of Plymouth's historic naval past with a unique, award-winning design. It is also known as the yard, and is home to an impressive collection of Grade I listed buildings. Recently underwent a conversion to a mixed-use development, making it one of the best places to eat, shop, work, stay, relax and play in the heart of the South West. Offers something new to experience with every visit and remains one of the country's most magnificent industrial monuments. It's definitely a much-loved destination, with a packed calendar of events and plenty to see and do, including its amazing panoramic views. Highly recommend at any time of the year

Great place to spend an hour or two. Plenty of history and views across the water. Good places to sit and take it all in and have a drink and food. Catch the ferry across to Mount Edgecombe.

I have visited the Royal William Yard on several occasions and it's my go to place when staying in Plymouth..The area has been magnificently restored by Urban Splash and a significant number of the former military buildings have been converted into apartments, restaurants, businesses, and leisure venues..Day or night, there is always something new to discover when exploring the areas surrounding the 'yard' and for a novice photographer like me, the location offers a wonderful mix of buildings and scenery to capture..I've stayed in private let's and rooms by Bistrot Pierre and all offer their own individual charm. The area has a real community feel and is definitely not a commercial tourist trap, which is surprising to those that haven't visited because many of the restaurants are part of larger chains. Don't let this put you off, each venue is very in keeping with the vibe..The location of the William Yard means that Plymouth city centre is only a short journey by car or public transport. It's also really easy to access the Tamar Bridge to make a day trip to Cornwall..In summary, if you're heading to Plymouth forget staying in the city centre and go for the Royal William Yard. You definitely won't regret it

Exceptional historic buildings that have been - and are still in the midst of being - repurposed. The mix of commercial and residential use is ‘smart’, and ensures the highest and best use. Hats off to the developers/planners/architects. The location, the architecture, the restaurants, cinema all contribute to a great experience.

Lovely, beautiful. So much choice of restaurants and bars and everybody so welcoming .
