Torpoint Ferry – A Short, Scenic Crossing with Maritime Views The Torpoint Ferry offers a short, chain-driven crossing over the River Tamar between Torpoint (Cornwall) and Devonport (Plymouth). The service runs continuously throughout the day, with minimal wait times even during peak hours. Passengers and cyclists travel free, and bikes are welcome on board — just dismount and place your bike in the designated area away from the car deck. Head up to the top deck for a better view and a breath of fresh sea air. From the ferry, you’ll get a great vantage point over the naval heart of Plymouth. On the Devon side, you’re directly adjacent to HMNB Devonport, the largest naval base in Western Europe. Depending on activity, you might spot Royal Navy vessels, support ships, and dry docks in action — a fascinating glimpse into the UK’s maritime operations. To the west, the Cornish hills rise gently, and on a clear day, you can trace the path of the river inland or out toward Plymouth Sound. It’s a brief but rewarding crossing — especially picturesque during early morning or golden hour. Tip: The ferry operates 24/7, so it’s a reliable option for early risers, commuters, or late-arriving bikepackers heading into or out of Cornwall.

This part of the trail can become very busy with walkers and cyclists, so forget your Strava split times unless you go early!

A good few 'dings' of a bell will alert walkers in the tunnel if on your bike! If you don't have a bell - a big old 'Woo Woooo' will carry down the tunnel as well!

Spectacular bridge, very safe to cross by bike or on foot. At least when there is not a crosswind nor too many other users

Only at low tide

Go early it gets busy

Go early it gets busy at the start of the ride
