Nestled along the historic road from Plymouth to Tavistock, The Jack Rabbit finds its place in the vicinity of Derriford and Crownhill. It's a stone's throw from Crownhill's well-preserved fort, a testament to Lord Palmerston's "Ring of Fire," which once encircled Plymouth during the Victorian era, shielding the Royal Dockyard at Devonport from potential French threats and bombardments. The Jack Rabbit is thoughtfully positioned near the captivating expanse of Dartmoor and the convenience of the local airport. As a charming pub with comfortable rooms, it serves as an ideal hub for those seeking to explore Plymouth and the breathtaking surrounding countryside. Whether you're intrigued by the historical echoes of the fort, the natural wonders of Dartmoor, or the adventures that await in the skies, The Jack Rabbit offers an inviting respite and a launching pad for your explorations.
