Getting Here and Around

As Rosslare is so well connected to the ferry port, the roads to major cities to and from here are very good: N81, N11, and N25. Rosslare is 16 km (10 miles) southeast of Wexford Town on the R470. The trip from Dublin takes around two hours, 12 minutes. A new bypass around New Ross means drive times from the rest of the Souteast have been cut by half an hour at least.

Bus Éireann has service from many cities and towns in Ireland, including Waterford City (around €18 one-way, €34 round-trip; 1½ hours) and Dublin (around €20 one-way, €27 round-trip; three hours). Irish Rail runs three trains daily on the Dublin–Rosslare Europort line via Wexford Town. The trip to Dublin takes three hours (around €18 one-way, €35 round-trip) and to Wexford Town only 25 minutes (around €4.50 one-way, €9 round-trip).

Stena Line Express sails May to September between Rosslare Harbour and Fishguard in Wales (3½ hours; two sailings per day) year-round. The fare in summer starts from €39, or €132 for a car and driver. Irish Ferries sails to Pembroke in Wales (3¾ hours, twice daily). Single summer fares start at €39 for a foot passenger, €149 for a car and driver. There are also daily ferries to Cherbourg, France (19½ hours, up to three a week). Ferries to and from Rosslare sometimes sell out, so reserve your space in advance.
