Mount Wise Urban Park & Pools
Mount Wise Urban Park and outdoor swimming pools are situated in the Devonport area of the famous Naval City of Plymouth in Devon UK. The pool is situated right next to the river Tamar which is the deviding line between Devon and Cornwall the last two counties in England.
The pools have stunning views over the river, Mount Edgecombe (in Cornwall) Richmond Walk Marina, the historic Royal William Yard and Plymouth Sound beyond. Even beter 360 degree views can be had from the observation tower on the hill behind the pool (shown in video). From the tower you can see all above + many more views out accross the City, Dartmoor and Cornwall.
The pools underwent refurbishment in the 90's. The is a main pool and childrens fun pool. Both are outdoor and filled with filtered and cleaned sea water. The pools are open every day in the summer (call 01752 306265) as times vary during school holidays. Entry is FREE ! The pools can be found by driving to James St/Mutton Cove area of Devonport. Car Parking there. Or take the short waterside walk along Richmond Walk. Fantastic on a sunny day. Take time to climb the hill to the tower, explore the boat sheds in Mutton Cove and watch the warships and submarines pass by in the river Tamar in and out of the Naval Base in Devonport just along the river. They are that close it's almost as if you can touch them.
Again this video has been made only using the video camera on my mobile phone and iMovies !

Plymouth tower blocks to have cladding removed - Rebecca Williams

Residents on the Mount Wise Tower Estate, Plymouth will see their cladding removed after tests showed that while it's not the same as Grenfell Tower, the outer layer of cladding on three 16-storey blocks was found to be aluminium coated with a polyethylene core, which has the lowest fire rating score.
Plymouth Community Homes says it is removing the panels and security teams are monitoring the blocks 24/7.
It is also installing heat detectors in every flat and sprinkler systems in each tower.
Rebecca Williams reports.
