Elizabethan House

Just announced: two special events to mark the start of the 2008 Transat on our city's historic Barbican!

"An amazing place - lots of work and thought has been given."
Husband and wife, September 2007

Experience a real feeling of history

On Plymouth's historic Barbican, you'll find an ancient doorway that takes you back in time to Drake's Plymouth.

Down panelled hallways and up spiral stairs, you'll find yourself in the furnished home of an Elizabethan merchant or sea captain.

Mind your head on the low ceilings and feel the creaking oak of the sloping floors as you explore the Elizabethan House.

See our restored kitchen and gardens on the ground floor, dining room and parlour on the first floor and bedrooms on the second floor.
