Thought it might have been Pin Mill for a moment but no

Padstow is closest so far.
According to google, the Pin Mill ferry stopped running at the end of the 19th century.
Not being a Cbeebies watcher, I had to look Balamory up, but having done so, the ferries there are much bigger.

Have a wider view. The ferry goes from directly opposite, and it takes bikes.

I seem to remember a view like that on the River Dart possibly at Dittisham.

andrew_s · « **Reply #559 on:** 24 July, 2008, 01:49:33 pm »

Dittisham is the closest so far - close enough that a ride taking in both would be feasible.

Topsham?

I think you're right. Narrower than I remember.

RogerT · « **Reply #563 on:** 24 July, 2008, 02:15:36 pm »

Only just seen this. It is definetly Topsham..my old hunting ground in a previous life.

I used to winter a boat at Turf Locks on the Exeter Ship canal, which this Ferry serves.

Perhaps you remember it with the tide in?

Topsham it is

Well, the skull & crossbones has a history there, y'know, though the river shore is rather muddier...
