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:

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.

"<i>i can train to cardiff in an hour and then its an hour flight to dublin right?</i>
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.
