Roborough

Roborough is a village in the South Hams of Devon, lying just outside the northern boundary of the city of Plymouth on the main road to Tavistock. Once the home of Plymouth City Airport, this unassuming settlement occupies a distinctive place between city and country. Its position beside Plymouth gives it an air of convenience, while the route to Tavistock hints at wider journeys beyond. Over time Roborough has become a popular dormitory village, a residential community whose daily rhythms are shaped by its proximity to the nearby city. Visitors passing through will notice a place defined by its location—close enough to Plymouth to feel connected, yet separate enough to retain the quieter pace of village life. Whether you are moving along the main road to Tavistock or drawn by the area's links to Plymouth’s past as an aviation hub, Roborough offers a succinct and authentic slice of Devon living.
