HISTORY Fort Picklecombe was commissioned in the mid 19th century by Lord Palmerston, Foreign Secretary and then Prime Minister under Queen Victoria. Being an island, Great Britain was at risk from large scale enemy invasion by sea, particularly from France. Palmerston ordered a series of coastal forts and batteries to be built in this area to defend the large naval base at Devonport near Plymouth. The coastal entrance to Plymouth is known as Plymouth Sound, and was to be defended by Fort Picklecombe to the west, Fort Bovisand to the east, and a smaller fort on the Plymouth Sound breakwater. Guns were removed from the fort in the 1920s but after the outbreak of the World War II it was reactivated and manned by the Coastal Artillery. Just down the coast to the west of the fort range finder and searchlight positions were made. The remains of these positions still remain today. After the war, the fort was decommissioned and it stood derelict for many years. Eventually it was offered for sale to property developers and in the early 1970s it was converted to 103 residential apartments. A grand building, called the Officers’ Mess stands in an elevated position above the main fort complex. It is said that in order to meet the demands of the then landowner, the Earl of Edgcumbe, the officers mess had to emulate Warwick Castle, complete with towers and castellations. In the spring of 2007 work was well under way to convert the Officers Mess into apartments. Today the officer’s mess is an exclusive development of nine luxury apartments including two penthouses, with stunning coastal views over Plymouth Sound. The property is adjacent to Mount Edgecombe Country Park and has views of Kingsand and Cawsand Bay to the West and Jennycliffe to the East.

There are parking facilities at the ferry terminal and the scenic trip across the Sound takes 7 -8 minutes. The service operates throughout the day and into the evening. Alternatively, travel by car ferry from Torpoint. The service runs continuously at peak time and throughout the day and has recently been upgraded to provide a quick and efficient route to town. To travel by road, the A38 at Trerulefoot is about 11 miles away and provides good access via the Tamar Bridge to the Devon Expressway. This provides access to Plymouth City Centre and continues to join the M5 Motorway at Exeter.
