Directions
By Road – Access from Plymouth is via the Tamar Bridge (A38) to Trerulefoot roundabout; then via A374 and B3247 (brown signs) to Millbrook and Mount Edgcumbe. The Torpoint Car Ferry is available at approximately 10-minute intervals. From Torpoint use A374 and B3247 (brown signs) via Antony. You can also plan your journey by car or public transport using the map below For a detailed map of the site visit www.streetmap.co.uk. Disabled parking bays (for Blue Badge holders) are available by the house or if parking in the main parking area it is possible to be dropped next to the house before the car is parked.
By Boat – A foot ferry operates from Plymouth to Cremyll which provides access to the park. A shuttle bus (operated by volunteers during summer months) can then take passengers from the ferry to the main house where the Tramper can be picked up. Please note that neither the ferry or shuttle bus are specifically designed to be accessible and those with more significant mobility difficulties may find them unsuitable.
