]]> Comment on Severn Link A new major ferry route joining England and Wales by Alun http://ferrytime.co.uk/blog/severn-link-a-new-major-ferry-route-joining-england-and-wales/comment-page-1/#comment-178 Alun Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:16:33 +0000 http://ferrytime.co.uk/blog/severn-link-a-new-major-ferry-route-joining-england-and-wales/#comment-178 It depends on whether and when the sevice actually starts - keep an eye on their website for times etc. They obviously intend to offer a frequent and comprehensive service but the last few summers have not been kind on the Bristol Channel. During the spring and summer the Waverley and Balmoral also sail from ilfracombe to swansea, Penarth, porthcawl etc. Although taking a bit longer than the proposed fastcats they are fascinating vessels with comfortable facilities and the crossing is an attraction in itself. they also sail from other west country ports across the channel to wales - look up the Waverley Excursions website for details. If no sailings are convenient, the other main route from south/west england to wales is across one of the severn bridges, which offer great engineering projects and fantastic estuary views. Obviously both bridges can be crossed by car, the newer bridge is crossed by Nartional Express services to Cardiff, Swansea etc, and the older bridge has a pedestrian walkway and cycletrack. There are also rail services through the Severn Tunnel - the original channel tunnel! Enjoy your journey!

Is this going to be the best route from England to South Wales? What if I'm coming not from North Devon, but from the South coast, maybe Dorset or Dartmouth.

It would be helpful to know the crossing times (Night or Day) from either side as soon as possible. I have registered and will definitely be booking in early May.
