Thanks Penquin
We are regular visitors to Hillhead so know the area well. Due to Covid the higher ferry to Dartmouth are only taking contactless payments, and as the pedestrian fare is 70p they are not collecting it at present. So pedestrians go free.
We parked at Kingswear Marina, walk up alongside the railway line to the higher ferry. Crossed over and Had a couple of pints at the Floating Bridge pub on the Dartmouth side. First since last summer, sooooo nice to sit in the sunshine and put the world to rights with my mate who is also staying at Hillhead. The women went off to the Dart Marina Hotel next door for some wine !
