The Jewel in
Plymouth Sound
Sitting in the sparkling Sound, Drake’s Island is a quiet haven of wildlife, panoramic views and so much history.
After being inaccessible to the public for over 30 years, the island’s new custodians look forward to extending a warm welcome to guests, and to sharing with you all the peace, beauty and heritage that can be found in this truly unique Scheduled Monument and its environment.
Enjoy a trip across the Sound courtesy of our partners at Plymouth Boat Trips and join us for a guided tour around 6.5 acres of volcanic rock and a thousand years of recorded history: our guides are passionate about the island and its story and we’re sure you will be too!
