Mount Batten is a former RAF Base, the breakwater projects westward that protects the Barbican and Cattwater (Lower River Plym) to it's North side.
Mount Batten is a peninsula that sticks out between the Barbican and the more open area of Plymouth Sounds East side. The Sound has few sandy beaches and is mostly rocky, from here you can check both sides, but during very stormy weather it's NOT advisable to venture along the breakwater.
Leave Plymouth City Centre on the A379 to Plymstock/Brixton, look for signs to Plymstock/Hooe/Mount Batten. Continue on to Mount Batten where there are large free car parks on the left just before the round castle on the high mound. Alternatively you can get to Mount Batten via Pedestrian Water Taxi, for Start/Finish points see STARS on map.
