Travel and Accomodation
How to take part

 

Everyone is responsible for making their own travel and accomodation arrangements. Please ask for assistance if you need help or want to be put in touch with someone to share either with.

Getting there and back

The easiest option is a conventional ferry from Rosslare to Fishguard run by Stena line, leaving Rosslare at 0900 and returning from Fishguard at 1430, daily. It's about 2 hours from Dublin to Rosslare and about 20 minutes or so to the campsite from Fishguard.

The alternative is an Irish Ferries boat from Rosslare to Pembroke. Times and prices are similar, but it's a much longer drive, probably an hour or so from Pembroke to the camp site.

It is not necessary for everyone to take their own car on the ferry! You're welcome to do so, of course, but cars are expensive compared to foot passenger fares so it would be as well to fill them up. If you're taking a car and have space for other people, please let us know! If you need transport, or don't want to take you car, please ask.

Camping (or other accomodation)

Portclais Farm camp siteWe're intending to camp at Porthclais Farm campsite. It's a large campsite overlooking the sea, about a mile outside St. Davids, a short walk along the cliffs on the coastal path to reach Caerfai bay or two minutes down to the adjacent Portclais Harbour. The site is unlikely to be particularly busy as the UK bank-holiday is the previous weekend. There are usual campsite facilities and plenty of space for kids to run around.

Alternatively, there's lots of other local accomodation including hotels, B&Bs and self-catering in or near to St. Davids.
