Torpoint Ferry

The Torpoint Ferry is more than just a way across the Tamar, it’s a quirky local icon with a rich history.

Chain ferries have served this crossing since the 1830s, making it a longstanding part of daily life for locals and visitors alike. Today, three modern ferries shuttle cars, cyclists, and foot passengers between Devon and Cornwall, offering cracking river views along the way. Incredibly, these ferries carry around 2 million vehicles each year, making it one of the busiest estuarial crossings in the UK.

It’s part transport, part tradition, and always part of the Torpoint experience. Whether you're commuting, exploring, or just enjoying the ride, the ferry makes every crossing feel a little bit special.
