Getting In
We recommend flying into Bristol City Airport!
By Car
CROSSING THE TORPOINT FERRY FROM PLYMOUTH:
Follow the signs towards the city centre in Plymouth until you start finding signs to Torpoint and the A374. Follow these signs to the Torpoint Chain Ferry (24 hours, crossing time @ 7 – 8 minutes, queuing time 0 – 60 minutes, worst in rush hours). On the other side, in Torpoint itself, stay on the A374 to the Village of Antony. Branch to the left, signposted Millbrook B3247 (and other destinations), leaving the Ring O’Bells pub on your right. Follow the instructions from Antony as below.
GOING BY ROAD, AVOIDING THE TORPOINT FERRY:
Continue past Plymouth on the A38, cross the Tamar bridge into Cornwall, and stay on the A38 for Liskeard until the Trerulefoot Roundabout. Turn left onto the A374 for Torpoint and continue through Polbathic to Antony. Turn very sharp right onto the B3247 to Millbrook (this involves going round the Ring O’Bells pub).
FROM ANTONY:
Go up through Antony into the countryside till you reach a T-junction. Turn left, sign-posted Millbrook B3247. Go past the entrance to Tregantle Fort (MOD) and within two hundred yards turn right onto the coast road, sign-posted “Whitsand". Follow the coast road for 3.3 miles (useful to know when it’s dark or misty) from the Whitsand Bay turning, and at the point that the road leaves the coast and bends round and down to the left (towards Cawsand and Kingsand) you will see the entrance to our drive on the right. Follow the drive down for half a mile till you reach the Fort.
By Train
The closest main line station is at Plymouth. We suggest you take the train to Plymouth, then take a taxi to the Cremyll Ferry. There is a taxi rank outside the station and the trip is around ten-fifteen minutes depending on traffic.
Take the Ferry
The Cremyll Ferry is a small foot passenger vessel which leaves Stonehouse in Plymouth, and docks after an approximately 8 minutes trip in Cremyll. The fare is £1.30 for adults per journey. The timetable is available on the ferry website. If this is your first journey across the Tamar, prepare to be amazed at the views!
From Cremyll take a taxi to the fort, which will take less than ten minutes. We advise you to book your taxi in advance, so that you are not hanging around. Kernow Cars: 01752 822200
Alternatively, there may be guests already at the Fort who might be willing and able to collect you from the Cremyll Ferry.
We advise you to book your taxis in advance.
