Nice place for a walk in the evening. Some cafes scattered about. If you keep walking down will take you to the barbican where there are LOADs of eating joints most of which are very good. Plenty of paid parking around. Views are great. Worh a visit.

Went to watch Madam Butterfly and it was a great experience. The auditorium is one of the loveliest I've visited and most comfortable.

This place has seen much over the years, both in war time and in peace. The views across Drakes Island vary depending on the weather and it is a natural space for many events during the summer. Which includes the international fire work competition held in August were it hold countless numbers.
