Torpoint

Torpoint, or as it is known in Cornish Penntorr, is a town and civil parish on the Rame Peninsula in southeast Cornwall, England. It is situated opposite the city of Plymouth across the Hamoaze which is the tidal estuary of the River Tamar. Torpoint had a population of around 8,500 and has two electoral wards also Torpoint East and Torpoint West. Torpoint is linked to Plymouth (and Devonport) by the Torpoint Ferry. The three vessels that operate the service are chain ferries – that is, they are propelled across the river by pulling themselves on fixed chains which lie across the bed of the river. The journey takes about seven minutes.
It is said that Torpoint's name is derived from Tar Point, a name given because of the initial industry on the west bank of the Hamoaze. However, this is actually a nickname given by workers, Torpoint meaning "rocky headland"
Torpoint is an eighteenth-century planned town. The grid-based design for the town was commissioned by Reginald Pole Carew in the Parish of Antony in 1774. His family continue to have a strong influence in the area, having become the Carew Poles in the twentieth century, and still reside at their family seat, Antony House.
Due to the presence of Devonport Dockyard, the town grew as Dockyard workers settled there. The establishment of the Royal Navy's main training facility, HMS Raleigh also increased the population of Torpoint.
Educational institutions in Torpoint include Torpoint Infant School — a medium-large infant school, Carbeile Junior School — a large primary school and Torpoint Community College, a small secondary school. Sport and leisure, Torpoint has a non-league football club, Torpoint Athletic F.C., which plays at The Mill.
Torpoint is twinned with Benodet (Benoded) in Brittany, France
