The port of Holyhead sits on the northernmost tip of Holy Island, a small peninsula separated from the Welsh Isle of Anglesey by a narrow stretch of sea known as the Menai Strait. With Dublin a short ferry trip across the Irish Sea, it’s a popular stop-over destination for tourists on their way to the Emerald Isle. The port is supplied by fantastic travel routes from the British mainland too. The A55 dual-carriageway cuts through the centre of Anglesey and all the way across the north of Wales, meaning that both Manchester and Liverpool are under a 2-hour drive away. The ferry terminal, a bright open-plan building with plenty of comfortable seating, is also shared by the Holyhead train-line. Irish Ferries and Stena line currently operate on the Holyhead - Dublin route, both companies sailing daily from the Welsh coast. The brief journey takes passengers within view of the Holyhead Mountain near the west coast of Holy Island where it is possible, on a clear day, for successful climbers to see all the way to the Irish coastline.
Belfast is Northern Ireland's principal passenger ferry port with more than a million ferry passengers passing through annually. Isle of Man ferries arrive and depart at Albert Quay while Stena Line services use the Victoria terminal. With numerous ferry services operating daily and over night, Belfast port provides an excellent gateway between Northern Ireland and England, Scotland and the Isle of Man. The port is easy to access from the city centre and is well connected by motorway to the rest of Northern Ireland.
