Torpoint

Torpoint is a town in the far south east of Cornwall, England, separated from the city of Plymouth by a stretch of water referred to as the Hamoaze, which itself is the mouth of the River Tamar. It is on the Rame Peninsula.

Torpoint's sea link to Plymouth (and Devonport) is by the Torpoint Ferry. The three ferry boats that operate this service are propelled across the river by pulling themselves on chains. These chains sink to the bottom to allow shipping movements in the river. The ferry journey takes 7 minutes.

In the Cornish language Torpoint is called Penntorr, which is the basis for the name of local folk band Pentorr.
