Interactive map displaying Ford & Blockhouse Park

About

Ford & Blockhouse Park occupies a coastal strip along Plymouth's eastern shore. The area is defined by its open green space and direct access to the waterfront, offering views across Plymouth Sound. A prominent feature is the historic stone blockhouse, a 16th-century fortification that once formed part of the city's coastal defences.

The park provides a recreational area with paths for walking. Its location near the mouth of the Plym estuary makes it a vantage point for observing marine traffic entering and leaving the harbour. The open layout contrasts with the more developed urban centre to the west.
