A newly opened visitor centre on the Devon side of the River Tamar is definitely worth a visit. Staffed by enthusiastic volunteers provides a wealth of information and history of both the railway and road bridges.

Beautiful Cornish house and grounds. Seasonal attractions and exhibits; The winter garland display in the main hall is an advent must see, the summer & autumn garden are well worth taking time to explore, especially in their special Apple & Cider making days amongst other events. The tea shop serves excellent teas too. Local arts and crafts are displayed and available to purchase, excellently stocked trust shop for those traditional things you want and sometime need.

Free parking, well worth at least an hour to explore the quayside, small park, to admire the two bridges, local sculptures and to watch the local fishing boats. Information boards fill in the gaps, this is an historic place to visit.
