The port of Holyhead is a major port for both fishing vessels and commercial passenger ships. From here, you can catch ferries to Ireland.

It's a lovely place to explore, with smaller boats bobbing on their moorings with the huge passenger liners coming and going, but you can climb the hill behind – Holyhead Mountain – to see a fantastic overview of the harbour.

Very scenic coast, but the town is very run down

The Port of Holyhead on Anglesey is one of the most important seaports in Great Britain. It connects Wales with Ireland through regular ferry services to Dublin. In addition to passenger ferries, it is used for freight transport. This natural deep-water port has a long maritime tradition and remains an important gateway between Great Britain and Ireland.
