Holyhead Attractions

Holyhead is one of the UK's busiest ferry ports. There are about 8,000 conventional and fast ferry movements a year and over 500 calls from bulk carriers, cruise liners, coasters and large fishing vessels. Countless numbers of small fishing vessels and leisure craft call at the port. The 2.4 kilometre breakwater shelters an area of 260 hectares comprising the Inner, Outer and New Harbours.

The Port of Holyhead is located close to Holyhead town centre. The port is accessible via the A5 from the Midlands or A55 from Chester. The Port of Holyhead ferry terminals are split into a passenger terminal and a vehicle terminal. Irish Sea Ferries and Stena Line, offering services to Ireland, operate from both of those terminals. The facilities at the port of Holyhead include a selection of cafés, a bureaux de change, some cash points, disabled toilets, lifts and baby changing facilities, a free short-term car park and a fee-based long-term car park.

Holyhead Port History. The Act of 1847 gave powers for a new pier to be built as part of government proposals for a much needed large refuge harbour. The Admiralty Pier at the northern end of the harbour, near the entrance from which the railway and City of Dublin steamers embarked and disembarked their passengers, was very heavily used. Ship passengers arriving at Holyhead were taken through the town by Robert's horse bus to Admiralty Pier. In those days the harbour was exposed to bad weather and needed frequent dredging. Construction of the Holyhead Harbour began in January 1848. With the expectation of more traffic coming to the Port when Britannia Bridge was opened, plans were made for a railway extension between the station and Admiralty Pier. By 1850 it was decided there should be a permanent station at Holyhead and the new building was described as "commodious and extensive".
