Ferries

There are many channel crossings to choose from – these range from Dover – Calais (approx. 1 hr) to Plymouth to Roscoff (approx. 7 hrs). The cheapest crossings are in the Dover – Calais area with prices generally rising the farther west you go. As a result, our customers in the east of the UK generally prefer to cross in the Dover area and then drive in France where roads are excellent with less traffic than the UK and generally cheaper petrol / diesel. The nearest ferry crossing to us is Plymouth to Roscoff and we are situated about 45 minutes south of Roscoff ferry port. Below are some of the various operators that cross the channel:
