I believe there may be room for bicycles. The harbours in North Devon aren't deep enough for a car ferry. I’m informed that it’s a fast, small passenger ferry from North Devon to South Wales.

It would be a great service to have. All I want is an answer so that we can proceed to booking in June. It would be a great service to have.

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.
