About

King's Tamerton and West Park sit to the north-west of Plymouth city centre and form a mainly residential quarter set on rising ground above the Hamoaze. Much of the housing dates from the mid-20th century and consists of terraces and semi-detached streets laid out around small green verges and local shop parades. There are primary schools and a community centre close to the main residential streets, and several footpaths that drop from the ridge toward lower ground. From some roads you can see the wide stretch of river channel that separates the city from Cornwall.

West Park contains public playing fields, allotments and pocket woodlands that are used for informal sport and dog walking; a marked strip of playing pitches and a skate/park area sit beside the main green. The area is linked by frequent bus services into the city centre and local retail hubs, and day-to-day life revolves around small convenience shops, schools and community-run facilities rather than major commercial centre development.
