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 (and the nearby Cattewater) originated from a rocky outcrop nearby on the River Plym that looked like a cat.
The area (including Prince Rock) as a population of 9,331 according to the 2011 census.
