Torpoint Ferry


Three chain ferries operate from Devonport in Plymouth to Torpoint and link Devon to South East Cornwall carrying cars and passengers every day of the year. The ferries are named after the local rivers of the Plym, the Lynher and the Tamar. Both charge a toll and are managed by the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee. Cornwall County Council and Plymouth City Council jointly own the Tamar Bridge and are responsible for the Torpoint Ferry.
