The Fishguard to Rosslare ferry
Fishguard to Rosslare is Stena Line's crossing from north Pembrokeshire to the south-east corner of Ireland, taking about three and a half hours with two sailings a day. The ferry carries cars, motorhomes, coaches and foot passengers, and Fishguard Harbour has its own railway station with connections from London Paddington via Cardiff. Rosslare Europort lands you in County Wexford, gateway to the beaches of the sunny south-east, Waterford and the road on to Cork. The route is a scenic one, leaving from the pretty harbour town made famous by the film of Under Milk Wood, and it is a relaxed alternative to the busier Holyhead crossings for anyone heading to the south of Ireland.
- North Pembrokeshire to south-east Ireland in about 3h30
- Twice daily, with rail connections to Fishguard Harbour
- Lands at Rosslare for Wexford, Waterford and the south
- A quieter, scenic alternative to Holyhead
