Visitor Guide
Royal William Yard
Relax & Play
Surrounded by water, Royal William Yard offers breathtaking views over Plymouth Sound and across to Cornwall, with plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind.
Cool off in the Tidal Pool, explore the South West Coastal Path, hop on a ferry from the Marina, try yoga on the lawn, stand up paddleboarding from the rock beach at Firestone Bay or just enjoy a quiet drink whilst taking in the sunset.
Eat & Drink Shop
You won’t go hungry (or thirsty) with our variety of popular restaurants and cafés offering a range of cuisines — try a wine tasting experience, dine outdoors with friends or enjoy a coffee by the sea.
Explore our independent retailers — including a fashion boutique, hair salon, artist studios and a range of pop-up traders for unique products.
Stay
Experience our stylish boutique Bed & Breakfast accommodation — luxury rooms in a renovated Grade II Georgian house, each overlooking either The Green or our Secret Garden.
#yardlife
Discover the buzz around the yard with our calendar of local and national events — from monthly markets, open air cinema and theatre performances through to live music and light festivals, along with a variety of fitness classes and craft workshops.
Royal William Yard blends Plymouth’s historic naval past with award-winning design.
