Plymouth - Roscoff Ferry
Brittany Ferries operate 2-3 daily crossings from Plymouth to Roscoff in France, onboard the Duc de Normandie and the Val de Loire ferries. Journeys take around 6-7 hours. On board facilities include a wide variety of food and beverage outlets as well as excellent entertainment facilities. PlymouthPlymouth is historically the Royal Navy's second home. There is a very modern passenger terminal in Plymouth. There are many berthing facilities at the port for the many cruise ships that call there. Within the terminal there is a cafe where you can order hot and cold meals, along with other refreshments. There's also a bureau de change. Plymouth is a great place for a holiday by the sea. Just outside the town are beaches that are perfect for people wishing to take their bucket and spade. There's plenty to do in the town too; The National Aquarium, Crownhill Fort and the Dome are just a few of the things to do. Just out of town is the wildlife park, Buckfast Abbey and the Dartmoor National Park. RoscoffRoscoff is a quiet fishing village which is set within the Beautiful area of West Brittany. It's makes it an ideal gateway to the rest of the Brittany region, via the toll-free motorways. The port at Roscoff was originally opened in 1973 to help boost the Breton economy. Ships go from Roscoff to Plymouth and Cork in Ireland which, while principally passenger ferries, encourages trade between the traditional celtic countries of Ireland, South West England and France. Almost all the activity in Roscoff happens in the port, the other roads are not much more than residential back streets. At the far end of Rue Gambetta is Notre-Dame-de-Croas-Batz, which is a 16th century church featuring an ornate Renaissance belfry with with a protruding stone cannon and sculpted ships. Interestingly, Frenchman Henri Olliveir took onions from Roscoff to England back in 1828. He unwittingly created the stereotyped image of the Frenchman we all know today. |
