The character of Plymouth
The Barbican's cobbled lanes and the streets around the Hoe carry limited vehicle access and heavy pedestrian footfall, particularly in summer, so cars generally wait on a nearby street rather than at the historic quayside itself. The city centre, largely rebuilt after the war, is a more conventional grid. Devonport's naval base has its own access and security arrangements, agreed in advance for any booking connected to it.
