Description
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.
