They have open days throughout the year, but it is not open on a daily basis. They have live firing of cannons and rifles (all using blanks of course). There are tunnels and rooms aplenty, and two barrack rooms are presented in the 1890's and 1940's style. There are toilets but no catering facilities as such. They even have volunteers who dress up in Victorian clothing. UPDATE: Since posting this, CF now have catering. These are usually outside suppliers who operate from purpose built vans. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486ced3a5ec388a7:0x6d0c2ba269b2994b!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Crownhill Fort Road, Plymouth, PL6 5BX [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=50.4134786%2C-4.1302431) **Category** Landmarks & Monuments **Guest rating** 4.5 / 5 (219 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 4+ **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Good for children** Yes **Destination** Plymouth [More attractions in Plymouth](https://staycation.co.uk/plymouth/attractions) ★ 4.5 (219 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/crownhill-fort/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01752 793754](tel:01752793754) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Plymouth **Postcode** PL6 5BX **Plus Code** 9C2QCV79+9W [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x486ced3a5ec388a7:0x6d0c2ba269b2994b!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486ced3a5ec388a7:0x6d0c2ba269b2994b!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486ced3a5ec388a7:0x6d0c2ba269b2994b!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Plymouth Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
