The site is fairly remote as Down Thomas village has a shop but the pub has closed. The next pub further on has spectacular views, from it's veranda, but is not recommended by us. We found it fairly easy to access the coastal path from the site, where you can walk east or west. By driving just a few miles to a free carpark at Mount Batten you can take a short ferry ride across to Plymouth Barbican where you then have easy access to Plymouth Hoe and pubs, restaurants and shops. The site is all grass with terrific views over Plymouth Sound, for those interested you can watch the Navy Ships come and go plus all the other sea traffic. We Spent a great week here but felt a little trapped when we wanted to get further afield as getting on to Dartmore, for example, meant a fairly time consuming drive around the outskirts of the city. We do however recommend the site as it is so relaxing.
