Train: Plymouth Railway Station lies one mile away from Central Park and there is a paved walking route (taking approx. 20 mins) Simply exit the station and walk down Saltash Road to the roundabout at the bottom of the hill and follow the pavement around to the right to briefly join Russell Place, before turning left up onto Holdsworth Street. Walk straight up the road and continue straight on to join the path leading into the park, and follow this until you reach Central Park. Please note that although picturesque, a portion of the walk is up a steep hill and so we would not suggest this route for those with access or mobility issues.
