This is an interesting ferry of the Floating Bridge type. Unusually it only uses its wires as guides and not for propulsion which on this ferry is a set of open paddle wheels. It is interesting to watch as it comes into the landing slipway it reverses the paddle wheels to slow the ferry onto the slipway.The ferry operates across the Rover Dart near Dartmouth in Devon.

  • The new one isn't paddle driven, either, so you don't get that "chomp-chomp-chomp" noise when you are berthing at the Dart Marina, or staying at the Dart Marina Hotel.

  • its open!

  • when does it reopen?

  • This ferry has been replaced - its now larger and faster, at least it will be when it reopens.
