Access is closed for bookings knly and closed for winter. Also English heritage membership card is useless here because u have to pay extra to book. Here is some background: The Royal Citadel in Plymouth was built in the 17th century to defend the city against potential naval attacks. Commissioned by Charles II, it played a key role in military defense during various conflicts, including the English Civil War and World War II. The citadel’s robust design features impressive ramparts, bastions, and views over Plymouth Sound.

Quite an impressive building, I only walked around the perimeter as this is a working base, but I think it is a English Heritage property and you can book to tour it.

I had the honour to be a guest of a meeting function inside the citadel. It feels really good being indoors. Food and service were really good.

Nice place, pretty and scenic however, the Military personal inside didn't take kindly to me taking an afternoon jog across the main plaza, found myself in the ER with 3 bullet holes to the chest very fast. Overall, nice bed and breakfast.

Although you can walk around the outside of the fort itself, due to the fact that this is an active army base, civilians are not permitted inside.
