Tel: 01752 - 667671 but, owing to limited parking available in the Barbican area, it's a good idea to leave your vehicle in the multi-storey car-park at Coxside and walk across the lock gates. Park & Ride facilities are available at Coypool (near Marsh Mills roundabout) and at Milehouse (follow the signs to Plymouth Argyle). You may leave your car free of charge at the attendant supervised car parks then, for a modest sum, take a bus ride into the City Centre.
