Dublin ferry port is located centrally and only minutes from the city centre at the heart of Ireland’s road and rail network. The biggest and most popular port in Ireland, Dublin passenger ferry port is spread over 3 terminals with Irish Ferries and Steam Packet using terminal 1, Stena Line terminal 2 and P&O Ferries terminal 3. The port is a modern facility and more than 1.7 million passengers pass through annually arriving from or sailing to England, Wales, France and the Isle of Man. With numerous crossings operated by the regions best ferry companies, Dublin ferry port represents the perfect gateway between Ireland and the surrounding countries.
The small Welsh town of Pembroke Dock, just a few miles north of its larger neighbour Pembroke, sits on the banks of the forked River Cleddau that flows from the mainland and into St George’s Channel. Once the site of a major Royal Navy dockyard during the 19th Century, the area is now a tranquil spot on the Pembrokeshire peninsula that extends from the south-western foot of the country. The port of Pembroke (found in Pembroke Dock,) is a small harbour with piers that extend into the Milford Haven section of the river. The passenger terminal here consists of nothing more than a short-stay car park and an open-air departure area with lanes that lead vehicles onto the docked ferries. Pembroke Dock is well supplied by transport routes that stretch across the mainland. The A477 trunk road starts in the centre of town and traces the southern coastline before feeding into the major M4 motorway that cuts directly into the heart of London nearly 250-miles away. A train station offering services to the major Welsh city of Swansea is also located a short distance from the port too. Only one passenger service currently operates from the port. An Irish Ferries line sails to Rosslare in the south of Ireland multiple times throughout the week, a journey that takes ferry-goers along the Milford Haven waterway before heading the short distance north across the Irish Sea.
