Armada Way runs from near the railway station all the way south to the Hoe. Plymouth was badly bombed doing WWII and the central area was flattened. Armada Way was built post war as part of the city regeneration, with trees and a linear park down the centre, with running water. When we visited (2022), there was no water, and it was looking tired. Since then, the council has felled many of the trees (amind local protest). Sp please don't assume that it still looks like this.
