Torpoint (Cornish: Penntorr [ˈpɛnːtɔrː] ) is a town and civil parish on the Rame Peninsula in southeast Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated opposite the city of Plymouth across the Hamoaze which is the tidal estuary of the River Tamar. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 7,444 and the built up area had a population of 7,160. Torpoint is linked to Plymouth (and Devonport) by the Torpoint Ferry. The three vessels that operate the service are chain ferries – that is, they are propelled across the river by pulling themselves on fixed chains which lie across the bed of the river. The journey takes about seven minutes.
