Place Ferry - Leaving St. Mawes
About :: The ferry not only makes up part of the ‘South West Coast Path' but from Place Creek passengers can head out on a selection of achievable short walks and discover the Roseland Peninsula. With its white sandy beaches, St Anthony's lighthouse, defensive fortifications, church and spectacular walks, this inspiring peninsula is one of the most delightful Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the South West. Ideal for dog walkers!
The Route :: The Place Ferry operates a half-hourly service between St Mawes and Place Creek from Easter to October, 7 days a week. The landing spot at Place is dictated by the tide, consequently at high water the ferry lands at the slipway by Place House and at low water lands at ‘Toddy Steps' 100 yards along the footpath to the North. There are waterproof information sheets on the ferry, just ask the skipper. Whilst we welcome bikes and push chairs please understand that the ferry is built for 12 passengers and there is not a great deal of room for multiple bikes so if you are a bike group please give us a call first and we will see if we can help with a bigger ferry.
New for 2010 :: We have just bought a Cornish Built Cygnus 19 to run the service, she will be powered by used cooking oil from the St Mawes Hotel and combined with a new pontoon on the St Anthony side will make for a much better service. She is in the process of being fitted out and once complete we will put some pictures up on the web site. We need a new name for the ferry - any ideas? Suggestions to tim@kingharry.net
