An iconic part of Cornwall's history, the King Harry Ferry connects St Mawes and the Roseland Peninsula with Feock, Truro and Falmouth by avoiding the alternative 27 mile trip through Truro and Tresillian.

The King Harry Ferry Company was established in 1888 although there has been a ferry in operation for more than 500 years. The ferry bridge crosses the River Fal at King Harry's Reach, named after King Henry VI, which forms part of the Pilgrim's Way to St.Michael's Mount.

One of only five chain ferries in England, the new ferry can now take up to 34 cars per trip. It departs every 20 minutes from each side of the river, seven days a week, providing a key transport link for both visitors and locals.

Take a scenic journey from Roseland to the Cathedral City of Truro or to the beautiful town and beaches in Falmouth via the King Harry Ferry, avoiding miles of congested roads. From the Truro side travel over to the Roseland Peninsula, An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and discover its unique "away from it all" atmosphere with an abundance of stunning coastal walks and unspoilt golden beaches. With its glass side and chain viewing windows, passengers can enjoy the ferry's slow, scenic river crossing over one of Cornwall's deepest and most beautiful rivers, the River Fal.
