Welcome to Mount Wise

Mount Wise is a beautiful hill located in the town of Devonport, Plymouth, in the county of Cornwall. The hill is known for its stunning views of the Plymouth Sound and the surrounding areas. It is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, who come to enjoy the scenery and take in the fresh sea air. The hill is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Royal Navy's former barracks and the Mount Wise Swimming Pool.

The Mount Wise area has a rich history, dating back to the 18th century when it was used as a military base. The barracks were built in the early 1800s and were used by the Royal Navy until the 1990s. Today, the barracks have been converted into luxury apartments, offering stunning views of the surrounding area. The Mount Wise Swimming Pool, which was built in the 1930s, is also a popular attraction in the area. The pool is open to the public during the summer months and offers a great way to cool off on a hot day.

In addition to its historic buildings and stunning views, Mount Wise is also home to a number of parks and green spaces. The Mount Wise Park is a popular spot for picnics and outdoor activities, while the nearby Victoria Park offers a range of sports facilities, including tennis courts and a skate park. The area is also home to a number of shops, restaurants, and cafes, making it a great place to spend a day exploring. Whether you're looking for history, nature, or just a great view, Mount Wise has something for everyone.

Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
