Cattedown
Cattedown is an inner city suburb of Plymouth, Devon. Its position beside the River Plym estuary just short of the mouth led to its early settlement. It is believed that the name Cattedown originated from a rocky outcrop nearby on the River Plym that looked like a cat.| Tap on a place to explore it |
