The Black Tor Ferry,[1] also known as the Padstow to Rock Ferry, is a passenger ferry which crosses the tidal River Camel in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. The ferry carries pedestrians and cyclists only (not vehicles).
History
There has been a ferry at Black Rock Passage since 1337, the right originally belonging to the Duchy manor of Penmayne.[2] Today the ferry operates on demand, daily in the summer and Monday to Saturday in the winter, the service being operated by Padstow Harbour Commissioners.[3]
In the 1920s the ferry operated from Padstow harbour when the tide was up, and from the "Ferry Steps" which were accessed from a path leading down to a sandy foreshore from near the War Memorial when there was insufficient water to use the harbour. The fare at that time was 2s.[4]
Route
The ferry connects the town of Padstow on the west bank of the river to the village of Rock on the east bank. The route of the Шаблон:Convert long South West Coast Path utilises the ferry.[3]
