Mount Batten is a 24‑metre (80‑ft) tall outcrop of rock on a 600‑metre (2000‑ft) peninsula in Plymouth Sound, Devon, England, named after Sir William Batten (c.1600‑1667), MP and Surveyor of the Navy; it was previously known as How Stert. The area forms part of Plymouth, the most populous city in Devon, whose history extends back to the Bronze Age and evolved from a trading post at Mount Batten into a thriving market town. The locality’s name reflects its historical association with the naval surveyor, and its position on the peninsula provides a distinctive coastal setting within the city’s broader urban context.
