The Edgcumbe Arms Waterfront Country Pub & Inn

You're taking the ferry from the Barbican across to Cremyll, stepping off into a different pace of life entirely. The Edgcumbe Arms sits right on the water's edge of Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park, and it feels properly removed from Plymouth's buzz without being awkward about it. Walk in expecting honest pub food, real ales that rotate properly, and a garden where you can actually hear yourself think. The views across to Cornwall are decent enough to make you linger over a second pint, and the crowd here is properly mixed—families with dogs, couples after a walk, locals who know the place inside out.
