Ferries
 

Hello, I am going on a trip from Swansea Wales and plan to go to Tenby by train, and then ferry over to ireland, up to dublin and then over to Halifax England. What would be a great way to do that? I will have about four nights.

The nearest ferry port to Tenby is Pembroke, with twice-daily sailings to Rosslare (www.irishferries.ie).
From Dublin, you can go to Holyead or Liverpool:

For train connections in Britain, see www.nationalrail.co.uk, and in Ireland, www.irishrail.ie.

Thank you!

So what do you think.. train and ferry or fly?

13 hours of travel vs 2 hours..

one is scenic and some what of an adventure.. the other is just a flight..

cant decide..

How are you going to get from Tenby to Dublin (or Dublin to Halifax) in two hours?

i can train to cardiff in an hour and then its an hour flight to dublin right?

If you look at the National Rail website, you'll see that it takes a lot more than an hour from Tenby to Cardiff. In fact, it's about 3 hours 25 mins from Tenby to Cardiff airport. Then, you can't just step from the train onto a plane.

No. as GeoffHamer says, the train is a lot longer than 1 hour - plus advance check in at the airport. You are really looking at half a day at least.

4 days is not very long for traveling across 3 countries, and a body of water - twice.

Hmm, interesting.. and glad I asked.

Well, I need to get from Swansea to Halifax and I have from Sunday Morning until thursday evening. What do you suggest? I would love to make it to Ireland as it is where my ancestors are from. A small town called Navan in county Meath outside dublin.

screw it ill just go from man to swan to man to dub to home
