Fosbrooke Court
Fosbrooke Court is situated in a quiet residential area close to the popular coastal city of Plymouth.
Fosbrooke Court is just a mile from a shopping parade, which boasts many shops, banks, pubs, cafés, and restaurants. A short bus ride takes residents into the city centre, where there is an excellent range of larger supermarkets, major retailers, and independent shops. There are several places of worship and a social club nearby.
Plymouth city centre has a long seafaring history and hosts many events and festivals on its waterfront, including the annual British Firework Championships. The city also has a good range of museums, galleries, theatres, cinemas, music venues, and an arts centre. Plymouth holds regular indoor and farmers' markets.
The local area offers good transport links. The court is a short bus ride from the historic Plymouth Hoe and Barbican, Dartmoor National Park, and the market town of Tavistock. Buses into the city centre run every 20 minutes from a stop just opposite the court, or there is a dial-a-ride service you can book. Plymouth Railway Station is two miles away and provides easy access to towns and cities further afield.
