The coordinates for the box have changed but only by a very small amount to see the view as the description below please got to the old coordinates which were N 50 21.610 W 004 10.037.

Devil`s point is a small area of Plymouth which is surrounded with history and great views. To one side you have the Royal William Yard which is currently being re-developed into a type of urdan village with shops, business units and housing.This used to be a Victualling yard which would supply the sailing ships of the navy in days gone by with the food needed for long journey`s around the worlds oceans. Next to this is the marina where a multitude of please craft can be seen coming and going as people enjoy being out on the water.

Futher round and a view can be seen up the River Tamar towards the present day Navy Dock Yards which are mostly out of view around the corner.If you are luck you may see a warship of the Brittish navy leaving or returning to the dockyard.You may even be very luck and see one of many foreign naval vessels which visit Devonport Dockyard on a regular basis.

Opposite Devil`s Point is Cremyll where you find Mount Edgecumbe House and Country Park. This can be reached by use of the Crymell Ferry which is a short walk from Devil`s Point.

You also get a great veiw of Plymouth Sound and of Drakes Island which was a prison way back in history. Also you get a great view of The Hoe.
