About

Plympton St Maurice sits about four miles northeast of Plymouth city centre, centred on a compact old town that was once a separate market town. The area is bounded to the north by the A38 corridor and is served by regular bus routes into the city. The centre retains a mix of narrow lanes, local shops, pubs and civic buildings around Fore Street, with residential streets and small commercial pockets spreading outward. Local primary schools, community centres and parish facilities serve a population that uses Plympton as a local service hub rather than a commuter-only suburb.

Plympton’s past is visible in street names and buildings: the painter Sir Joshua Reynolds was born here and his connection is marked in the town. Beyond the core there are short runs of post-war and modern housing, allotments and small parks linking to surrounding lanes and footpaths. Day-to-day life in Plympton St Maurice is anchored on the town centre, local services and the transport spine that connects it to greater Plymouth.
