Royal William Yard
Once a Royal Navy victualling yard, Royal William Yard is now an award-winning waterside destination in the heart of the South West. The collection of Grade I listed buildings have been re-imagined by Urban Splash as Plymouth’s best place to live, work, stay and play.
Home to a bustling community, the Yard is a place where artists, homeowners, office workers, holidaymakers, smallbusiness owners, students and day-trippers rub shoulders as waves lap the shores on three sides. Its renowned history and maritime setting have been married with modern architectural interventions, to play host to a new community for the 21st Century.
Melville
Melville, the striking centrepiece of Royal William Yard, is being transformed into an inspiring range of workspaces on the two upper floors above a mix of boutique retail, famous names and breakthrough restaurants facing a beautiful courtyard. This extraordinary warehouse will feature unequalled open-plan workspaces from 300 to 100,000 sq ft, light-filled floor plates with large windows, exposed features and great communal facilities, all within an established community of residential, restaurant and retail, providing a unique location for business.

Wellbeing at work
With historic buildings, green space and a dramatic coastline, Royal William Yard is the perfect place to exercise your mind, body and soul. Wellbeing at work matters, and the Yard goes well beyond the 9 to 5, with opportunities for leisure, learning and relaxation. Follow our six steps to living well and working better... 01. Step up
02. The right sort of SUPing
03. All at sea
Improve your mood, reduce anxiety and stress, and improve the quality of your sleep by walking for just 10 minutes each day. The one-mile long South West Coastal Path — originally created by coastguards guarding the peninsula from smugglers, is the perfect place to while away some time. Looking for a more high intensity workout? Scale the Yard’s infamous staircase.
Get paddling — improve your balance and core strength during a stand-up paddle boarding session. South West SUP runs regular group or individual sessions that exercise the whole body.
Refresh your mind, body and soul with a bracing dip at the Yard’s very own tidal pool, located at Firestone Bay, or explore the open seas with some wild swimming. Re-filled with fresh seawater each time the tide comes in, it offers smaller paddlers a unique ocean swimming experience too, all within the safe confines of the man-made pool.
33
04. Get your zen on
05. Feed your mind
06. Creativity is good
Our weekly Ashtanga Yoga sessions challenge your mind and body to improve flexibility and movement. Or try one of the Yard’s more active Yard Fit classes with intense interval training.
Eating a healthy diet improves your physical health and fitness, protects against disease and helps you function better. It can also help boost your mood and mental health. Recharge and refuel at one of the Yard’s many eateries. From delicious diet-friendly dishes, to nutritious smoothies and juices, there is something to satisfy all diets and taste buds, with plenty of fresh produce from the land, sea and garden.
Invest in you. Learn something new. From photography and pottery to jewellery making and printing, uncover your creativity and focus your energy on developing new skills.
