About us

Delve deep into the engineering secrets of the Tamar Bridge with our Anchorage Tour – an experience like no other. This exclusive tour takes you inside the massive anchorage chambers that secure the bridge's suspension cables, revealing the incredible strength and precision behind this iconic structure.

Guided by our knowledgeable team, you'll uncover the fascinating history, design, and maintenance of the bridge while standing in the very space that anchors its stability. It's a rare glimpse into the unseen world of civil engineering and a chance to appreciate the ingenuity that keeps the Tamar Bridge standing proud.

Pemros Road, St Budeaux, Plymouth, PL5 1LP
The tour starts in the Visitor and Learning Centre before walking to the anchorage. This gives visitors a different perspective of the structure as you look up and across the underside of the bridge. The tour will then enter one of the bridge's anchorage chambers. This area is not accessible to the public but is vital to the structure.

Please note a minimum age of 11 years applies to this tour. Under 18 year olds must be accompanied by an adult.

Given the nature of the location of the anchorage (an enclosed space with steep steps), we may not be able to meet certain specific accessibility requirements. Please get in touch if you would like more information on this.

We have limited spaces so booking is essential.
