In the real South West, the only rink is Plymouth Pavilions. It's small and kidney shaped with the most appalling ice I've ever had the misery of attempting to skate on. Occasionally somebody different resurfaces it, and then it's capable of being almost good. Unless it's raining, and then there are big melted holes, often covered by dustbins. The natives appear friendly, though.
In the winter, there is a temporary rink at the Eden Project, in Cornwall, which opens just before the Autumn half term and closes after the February one, with reduced opening times in January and February. The ice is usually beautiful, but it is a small rink and often plagued with school parties. Also, the sessions are expensive at £7.50 for 40 minutes; a skater's pass for £50 gives you half price sessions and is better value than ordinary Eden Project admission if you want to go regularly. The staff are delightful and the surroundings beautiful.
There are plans afoot for a new, much larger, rink in Plymouth and the owner of the old one (at the Pavilions) isn't allowed to redevelop that site until the new one is open. Rumour has it that work has started on the new rink, but we doubt very much that it will be open by the end of 2018, as promised.
