    Hello:

    just wondering if anybody knows where to get best deal (or voucher) for ferry travel to UK in a campervan. Going to Legoland in Windsor so route(s) need to be Dublin/Dunlaoighre or Rosslare.

    Any feedback on Legoland and stuff to do 'round there will be great also

    Thanks for any heads-up on this

    Windsor is off J6 of the M4, so the shortest journey the other side is from Pembroke or Fishguard.

    Legoland is great if your kids aare under about 12, they may get a bit bored older than that.

    It isn't that big a park so you can easily do it all in a day, but check out the show times and work your schedule around that.

    The main show is always great and try to get there early so you can get next to the lake.

    It is also worth taking a towel and a change of clothes for the kids. There is a kid wash place where they can play with fountains etc, a good way of cooling them down if its hot.

    If you are campavaning, your nearest sites are probably Amerden campsite in Dorney or Chertsey camp site.

    Make time to see Windsor castle as well, a day in Windsor is well worth it.

    In that area, you also have Thorpe park, which is great, or jump on a train into London.

    There is a pool with slides and stuff in Bracknell called Coral Reef, Virginia Water for country walks, Odds Farm Park which is a much larger version of Glenroe. You can visit the grounds of Cliveden House, which is the highest rated Hotel in the UK. The grounds are run by the National Trust and worth a visit.

    Lastly, right next to Windsor is Slough, don't go there.
