    Booked this. Thanks OP.

    It's gas they don't have a shuttle for all their arrivals. No motons shuttle for those arriving in at midnight. I suppose a 15 eur taxi to the city is the best bet

    That's my return to Pembrokeshire to carry on from where I left off last year on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path sorted!

    The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path has to be the most fantastic thing right on our doorstep that most people have never heard of and getting there for only two quid makes it a complete no-brainer!

    Any ideas where is the best section if you wanted to walk it for 3 days ?

    Either side of Fishguard is very nice but maybe the ideal option for you that should make a good three days' walking is St David's to Fishguard.

    Assuming you're on the evening ferry into Fishguard at 0:30, get a bus to St David's early the following morning.

    St. David's, the smallest city (village!) in the UK, is well worth a few hours wandering around and having a coffee/bite.

    Plot a route on the public paths out of the city west to the coast and once you hit it, veer north back towards Fishguard on the coastal path itself.

    Plenty of accommodation options along the way but best working out exactly what you'll be walking each day in advance so you can book accommodation before you travel, especially in the peak season.

    I'd recommend picking up the following map: www.bookdepository.com/Pembroke-Coast-Path-XT40/9781851374595

    a few did this on my recommendation last year and said it was great

    Suggestion here for ya, i'm from North Wales so know the area like the back of my hand

    Get off the ferry and get the train to Conwy, leaves Holyhead at 13:07 and gets into Conwy at 1415

    Spend the afternoon in Conwy, visit the castle, go the the smallest house in Great Britain, have a fish and chip dinner on the harbour, then get the 18:25 train back from Conwy, getting into Holyhead at 19:15

    Train fare is 15quid return and Conwy really is a beautiful little town, less than 20quid for a day out

    The Anglesey coastal path is lovely (although maybe not quite as spectacular as the Pembrokeshire costal path). Did a section of it recently. Would be perfect on a day like today!

    Did this trip again last week. This time I went alone and took the bike. No questions or issues when I arrived at both Dublin & Holyhead with the bike. It simply went on with all other other luggage for free. I got great weather and it certainly made 'Anglesey' a nice place to explore for the day on bike. Some very nice parks and beaches. The sailing over was dead smooth and OK wifi over and back.

    Had a fantastic day..kids (and us) came home exhausted.

    We got the 13:24 train from HH to Conwy..its a request only stop. Tell the guard and wave the train down on the platform on the way back..it slows down by default. WH Smiths cafe at the station is expensive!!

    Had lunch in the Galleon Chippy in the middle of the town. ..fish,chips, bread/butter and tea for £8.50. An adult sausage and chips was the same quantity as 2 kids meals but a lot cheaper.

    We went up to the castle for an hour and then down to the quays for an ice cream (a bit pricey)

    There was a choice of the 17:17 or 18:24 back. Everything shuts in the HH by 5:30!

    If you are parking the car in Dublin, get there by 7:30 on weekdays..earlier at weekends. Its €9 for the day..coins or card only at the machine.Thers only 20 or so spaces.


    Train was £45 return. 2 aduts , 1 child and 1 child free.
    The trip probably cost about €200 in total.

    Wales is definitely on my bucket list as it's the only "country" in the UK I have yet to visit. Considered doing the Dublin-Holyhead/Conwy North Wales ferry trip or flying from Cork to Cardiff and seeing south Wales. Will probably be a 2-3 day trip at most. Any suggestions?
