Plymouth’s Royal William Yard has been named as one of the top UK destinations in world-leading travel guide publisher Lonely Planet, in its latest book Ultimate United Kingdom Travelist.

Covering must-see spots for curious travellers, the Yard is ranked in the iconic guidebook’s top 500 greatest experiences across the UK, and one of only a select few locations mentioned within the South West.

The design led redevelopment of Royal William Yard has made it one of the South West’s most talked about places and it’s now a buzzing neighbourhood full of homes, restaurants, bars, a cinema, offices, artists spaces and a hotel. Its 215 apartments and 115,000 sq. ft. of commercial space house a vibrant mix of people and businesses. Plus, a programme of markets, cultural events and exhibitions bring thousands more to visit throughout the year.

Lambert Smith Hampton was appointed by developer Urban Splash to manage the prestigious mixed-use Yard development in 2014.
