THE PLYMOUTH ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 2

Home Park

Let me show you Home Park, which you can find in the Milehouse area of Plymouth, Devon. This association football venue was established in 1893 and was designed by Barr Construction Ltd. While it is most famous as a football ground, the site was used for rugby and athletics. Between 1900 and 1903, the ground was used by Argyle Athletic club and Argyle F.C. Since 1903, it has been the home of Plymouth Argyle Football Club. If you look at the stands today, the stadium has a capacity of 17,900. I've seen a few footballs fly over the perimeter walls from my perch, but the real action happens inside on the pitch.

Central Park

Sixty-eight hectares of open space make Central Park the largest park in Plymouth. You can find this expansive area situated to the north-east of the city centre in south-west Devon, England. It was created in 1928 with the primary aim to improve the health of the city's residents, providing a necessary breath of fresh air. Because the area is trust land, any developments on the land must be for the purpose of leisure activities. I have found it is a great spot to stretch your legs after a long walk through the city streets, though you have to keep an eye out for the other birds who think they own the place. Whether you are here for a stroll or just passing through on your way to the next hole, it is a significant piece of the city's layout.

HOLE 6 - PAR 3

Royal Citadel

You might expect just a scenic overlook here, but this is actually the Royal Citadel. Located in Plymouth at the eastern end of Plymouth Hoe, it is a fortification and an independent museum. This site is a scheduled monument that was designed by Sir Bernard de Gomme. While the Royal Citadel was built in the late 1660s, it had an inception in 1592. It is a place where the military architecture of the past meets the public's curiosity today. I have noticed that the high walls provide a great vantage point for watching the harbor, though I usually stick to the lower ledges to avoid the wind. Whether you are interested in the strategic layout of the defenses or the exhibits inside the museum, there is plenty to see here before you move on to the next hole.

HOLE 8 - PAR 3

The Box

Let me show you The Box. This building was created in 1907–1910 by Thornely and Rooke in Edwardian Baroque style. For a long time, the core of the building was Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery, though that institution closed in 2016. Now, the site has been reimagined as a history museum that opened in 2020. You can pick out a massive variety of exhibits here, as the collection contains about 2 million items. It is a great spot to spend an afternoon exploring the local area and seeing how the city has changed. I've noticed that the architecture makes it a very sturdy landmark to aim for when you're rolling your ball down the street, which helps a lot with those tricky banks off the facade.
