We crossed from Fishguard to Rosslare and back again the same day to collect a large, fragile antique item from Wexford..It was lovely to see the coast of Ireland appear through the early Dawn. Lots of golden gorse about, {March time} so wish we could have stayed longer ..I was afraid of being seasick on the crossing, as St George's Channel is a very rough part of the Irish Sea, but I used meds, so was thankfully ok. 1:21, the Y shaped water tower{?} is easily visible from the Sea. Staff on the Ferry were lovely..But think a lot of locals were being replaced with 'Cheaper' overseas workers, which is wrong {They should be paid the same} Edit: the item we bought was made in London around 1870/1880 and would have originally been packed and sent to Ireland by rail and Steamer around that date.

We talked to quite a few locals in both Fishguard and Rosslare Harbour who habitually enjoyed a day-trip to the other side of the Irish Sea and back. We feel it's such a privilege to live so close to the ferry link.

@@portspastandpresent On a lovely calm day, it would be very doable. On a rough one, less so! The staff {Stena Europe} said a few days before we went, that Artics were tipping over despite their lashings, and that passengers weren't enjoying the journey..But on a smooth day, much better. :)

Re the Cattle..On the small ferries of old, it must have been mercilessly rough for the poor beasts. It was bad enough for the humans on little ferries.
