How to get there
Approach Kingswear from Torbay / M5 by following the signs to Torquay then Brixham/Kingswear. Take the B3205 into Kingswear following the signs for the Lower Ferry. Alternatively, approach from Dartmouth using either of the ferries and follow the signs to Kingswear village.
There is a drop-off (20 mins) at the bottom of Wood Lane (turning area) near the bus stop. The Marina car park is further down on the left. There is also free parking at the top end of Wood Lane on Higher Contour Road (steep hill back up Wood Lane). Wood Lane is one way and signposted 6'6" so not suitable for all cars. We recommend using the drop-off area and parking in the Marina or at the top.
