Where to stay in Ford
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Ford holds one listed church. St Bartholomew is that entry, and with Milehouse on one side and Keyham on the other the area reads as Victorian housing, so a booking here means a residential street and a short run into Plymouth. Nothing on the record names a station or a main street.
Anyone staying in Ford is choosing quiet terraces over hotel frontage, with the walk to St Bartholomew short and the city's beds a ride away.
Few places to stay in Ford — most visitors book in Plymouth nearby.
About Ford
What are the main landmarks in Ford?
Count the sights in Ford and you stop at one. St Bartholomew is the whole of Ford's record, which leaves the Victorian streets themselves as the thing to look at, with Milehouse and Keyham adjoining on either side. Plymouth holds everything else worth a detour.
Visitors after monuments will look beyond the area, since this entry stops at a single church dedication.
What is the history of Ford?
Ford was built in the Victorian period, which fixed its street pattern and its housing stock, and the area came with the spread of Plymouth north-west of the city centre. St Bartholomew came with it. Milehouse and Keyham border it, and the three names sit in a row across this part of Devon.
Older layers go unrecorded here.
