Torpoint
Torpoint is a civil church and town on the Rame Peninsula in southeast Cornwall, England, UK. It is positioned opposite the city of Plymouth across the Hamoaze which is the tidal estuary of the River Tamar. Torpoint had a population of 8,457 at the 2001 census, decreasing to 8,364 at the 2011 census. 2 electoral wards likewise exist (Torpoint East and West). Their consolidated populations at the exact same census were 7,717. In the Cornish language Torpoint is called Penntorr (local people band Pentorr have actually taken their name from this). Torpoint is connected to Plymouth (as well as Devonport) by the Torpoint Ferry. The 3 vessels that operate the solution are chain ferries-- that is, they are thrust throughout the river by pulling themselves on repaired chains which lie across the bed of the river. The trip takes about 7 minutes.
