About

Mutley sits immediately north of Plymouth city centre, centred on Mutley Plain where shops, takeaways and pubs line the main road. The Plain forms part of the A386 and links into North Hill and Tavistock Road, so the area sees steady local traffic and bus services. Housing is a mix of terraces and converted Victorian properties that rise up from the road; a number of the larger houses have been split into flats and are home to long-term residents and students from the nearby university.

A nineteenth-century church building stands on Mutley Plain and anchors one end of the shopping stretch; nearby pavements host independent shops, cafés and small offices. The land slopes away toward the city centre, giving some streets a clear view back over the roofs below. Day-to-day life here revolves around the parade of businesses on the Plain, evening pubs and the regular bus routes that make the city centre and surrounding districts easy to reach.
