Help required please. Can anyone tell me where i get the ferry from. Im going to Birr castle and never been to Ireland. I live in Fife, so should i go from Troon or Stranraer and where do i go to. Thanks in advance, Delboy.

p.s. how long is ferry trip and how far to Birr from ferry etc.

Stranrear is quicker aftr you get of the boat take the 1st left at the roundabout keep going to yi pass the house with flowery curtains then turn left again you'll see mick standing at the corner shop don't ask him for directions ignore him drive 5 mile on the wrong side of the road take 3 rights and bobs your uncle your there other than. That buy a satnav

 

directions as above with a few modifications

 

either way head towards belfast (coming from troon will probably ad an extra 30mins max to your journey)

you want to head out of belfast on the M5, turn off onto the A1 for BANBRIDGE, head for NEWRY, keep heading south on the NEWRY road towards HAGGARDSTOWN + DUNDALK, turn off for ARDEE or STRABARNAN

and head on the N52 towards KELLS, pass through KELLS and head towards MULLINGAR on the N52

head out on the N52 for dublin/athlone + turn off for ATHLONE when you reach the N6.

turn off for TULLAMORE and you should be starting to see signs for BIRR

take the N52 for BIRR

 

I tryed to keep it basic as possible, belfast is a nightmare to navigate so just be patient.

as for satnav- i dont trust the thing, try + pic up a good irish road map;- makes life a lot easier,

 

atb. gem.
