Ferry ConnectionsIf you want to go abroad there are ferries from Fishguard and Pembroke in the South West of Wales towards Rosslare in Southern Ireland. If you want to go to Dublin and Dun Laoghaire you can depart from Holyhead - on the North Western tip of the island of Angelsey. Last but not least you can go from Swansea to Cork. You can use the ferry services “Irish Ferries”, “Stena Line Ferry” or “Swansea-Cork Ferries” and choose between a day and overnight trip. |
Wales and the SeaWelsh history and economy have been shaped by its long coastline - that's why we created this poster of "Wales and the Sea." Our main topics are "Welsh beaches," "The coast & the economy," "Pembrokeshire National Park" and "Ferry Connections." The shells on our poster came straight from the beautiful Anglesey Island beach!

The Sea & the EconomyThe sea has always been important for the Welsh economy. In former days fishing was one of the most important economic factors, but nowadays Welsh fishermen are facing a bleak future. Today the Welsh coast is a favourite destination for holiday-makers. The coastline has a huge variety of beaches and you can enjoy them safe in the knowledge that the water is clean, the environment is safe and the facilities good. As well as clean waters, many Welsh beaches have an extra advantage in the form of the Seaside Award. All beaches which gain this award must meet exacting standards of cleanliness, administered by the Tidy Beach Group. The Welsh coastline is also an ideal destination
for nature lovers. Around the coast dolphins, grey seals and many rare
sea birds can be seen. |
