Group visits
Looking for a unique and inspiring experience for your group?
Bridging the Tamar offers tailored group bookings that bring history, engineering, and stunning views together in one unforgettable visit. Located next to the iconic Tamar Bridge and Royal Albert Bridge, our Bridging the Tamar Visitor & Learning Centre provides an engaging journey through the story of these remarkable structures and their impact on the region.
Whether you’re a school, community group, or special interest club, our team ensures your visit is informative, interactive, and enjoyable. These tours are also perfect for tourist groups who want to explore the rich history of the local area and see two of its most famous landmarks up close.
Our most popular tours include “Two Bridges & a Ferry History Tour”, perfect for groups of up to 15 people. This fascinating experience explores the engineering marvels of the Tamar and Royal Albert Bridges, alongside the rich history of ferry crossings that once connected Cornwall and Devon. For smaller groups, the “Anchorage Tour” offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the Tamar Bridge’s anchorage system. Designed for up to 10 people aged 11 and over, this tour provides a rare opportunity to see the hidden workings that keep the bridge secure and operational.
Whether you’re planning an educational trip, a day out with friends, or a sightseeing experience, let us help you create a memorable visit that bridges history and innovation. Contact us today to reserve your group visit and start your journey across the Tamar!

Information For coaches
Coaches can drop off at the Pemros Road roundabout. There is no access from the A38/Tamar Bridge Offices exit (bus lane only) so coaches travel first to St Budeaux (next stop on A38) to access Pemros Road.
If not you will need to travel through St Budeaux to access Pemros Road from the other direction to access the Pemros Road roundabout.
