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.

An easy gentle walk in the woods which in hotter weather is cooler. Safe, slippery when wet in parts. Full of chirping birdlife. At the end there is a welcome silver tubed caravan serving coffees, cakes and quick meals. A welcome retreat.

From this elevated location you get good views of Portwrinkle and the surround sea. It is a fast decent into the village

There is an overpass above the train tracks, allowing you to cross over. It means lifting the bike up and carrying it over and back down the steps. It is not too awkward though

Many roads in Cornwall and very thin and twisty, cycling infra-structure seems to be more rare in Cornwall, the roads tend to differ from many other regions. There is a higher degree of risk for road cyclists. Many times I watched wagons and vehicles go through narrow passes and no room for any potential cyclist exists. The photo was taken where an old path runs adjacent to the main road. Best to use any of these paths wherever they exist in this region

Amazing views.

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

Free passage both directions for walkers or cyclists
