Welcome to Torpoint

Torpoint is the largest settlement on the Rame Peninsula and sits directly across the Tamar from Plymouth, which can be reached by car via the Torpoint Ferry. Torpoint is home to HMS Raleigh,  where all the Royal Navy’s new recruits undergo their new entry and basic training. 

Torpoint is unusual in that it is an eighteenth century planned town, originally commissioned by the Member of Parliament Reginald Pole Carew in 1774. Carew’s house, Antony House is just outside the town. Although still owned by the Carew Pole family, the house is in the care of the National Trust and is open to the public.
