About

Torpoint ward encompasses the town of Torpoint on Cornwall's Rame Peninsula, directly facing Plymouth across the Hamoaze estuary. The area is defined by its connection to the water and the constant movement of the vehicle ferries that provide a vital transport link to Devon. The landscape includes modest residential streets, local shops, and industrial areas related to the nearby naval base, creating a functional, maritime-oriented community.

The ward extends to include the nearby village of Antony and stretches of rural land. A key local feature is the presence of the 18th-century Antony House, a National Trust property with formal gardens. The area's character is shaped by this mix of quiet village life, historic estates, and the operational rhythm of the ferry service, which structures daily life for many residents.
