Mum and I leave on our first European/UK trip in a few weeks and we are getting pretty excited. Would anyone be able to tell me the distance and best way to get from the Hertz Rental Car drop off in downtown Fishguard to the ferry terminal. We will have all our luggage. Is a taxi the cheapest/easiest option? Likewise at the other end in Ireland if you know from the terminal to the Hertz depot? Thanks.

My husband and I are visited the UK in early September, 2008. We are staying a few nights in Llandissilio. We're looking for an inexpensive way to get from there to Bath or Trowbridge in England. I've checked out National Rail but for the 2 of us it would cost around $152.00. Keep in mind that we'll have luggage with us. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I stumbled on this site by accident. Wish I would have found it earlier before most of our trip was planned. Some of the answers to other questioins would have helped a lot.

We are planning to stay in Brecon for 3-4 days in September and I was looking for suggestions of any 'free stuff' to do in the area. We will have a hire car and are quite keen to do some walking and love wildlife and country areas. We are travelling from Australia.

Is it just me or is there nowhere nice to enjoy an evening out in Rhyl? I recently visited Rhyl for the weekend with my partner and was looking forward to a nice evening out on the town. To my disappointment we didn't find one nice place to enjoy a drink without receiving scary threatening stares from the locals. One hour and six bars later we decided to head back to the holiday home we was staying at. Based on my first experience of Rhyl's nightlife I will never visit the place again. Can anyone suggest a place in this horrid town to make me change my opinion?

Hi Guys,

Hi,

I'm planning on taking a national express coach from London to Cardiff soon but my girlfriend is convinced that this is a bad idea. She thinks that it will take ages and be very uncomfortable. I think that it will only be a few hours and surprisingly comfortable. Also, it's far cheaper than going by rail. Can anybody tell me if taking the bus is a good idea or is it a nightmare like my girlfriend thinks it is? Appreciate any help on this!

Thanks.

Here is the hyper link, it is a scene from the movie merlin which was shot in wales. I would really wish to see this location as i am going to be treking through wales for a month. Any help would be wonderful.

Hi there :)

I'm in Cardiff at the moment but like to go for 2-3 days somewhere else in Wales just for the Easter holidays. I saw your replies for good places to visit in Wales but I wondered if there is something interesting happenning around Easter in any particular place? Where is good to spend 2-3 days for the holidays and taking in mind the season now :) I will be driving, so it's possible to reach everywhere. And if you know some nice homely accommodation in the area i'll be thankful if you could share with me :)

Thank you!

Hi, I'm going to spend a week in wales and I'd like to know which places are there that must be seen, on at all castles and sea places.
Thanks in advance for any advice, I'll thank you personally with the paschal tribal tradition I inherited from my forefathers, that is putting a chili pepper in the hass of a people you esteem...
Of course I'm kidding, it's not a chili pepper, just an elephant task!
Thanks everybody!

Hi all,

Can anyone give me any info on pub quizzes in the Cardiff area please? Any where outsiders would be welcome - nothing too serious!!

Cheers

Hi, I'll be with wife and daughter with a camping-car in Wales this March.
I love "old stones" history, castles, and nature too. Any advice as round trip there would be appreciated. Also some advice concerning camper stops. (Is it possible to stop on parkings etc.)
Many thanks

Myself and a couple of friends are thinking of working for the summer in Britain. There're a few cities we are considering going to and to help us narrow our (very long list) I was just wondering if anyone would like to offer some input as to whether or not Cardiff would be a good choice for the summer.
We'd be looking for somewhere where
- Job availibility won't be a problem
- A decent nightlife for 20 year olds
- Cheap cost of living, or at least, not expensive
- There's a nice amount of touristy things to do.

Edinburgh, for example, is exactly the kind of place I'm looking for, but I've already visited it, so would like to try somewhere new

Really, REALLY appreciate feedback!

I plan to be in Holyhead on the 4th. February 2008 enroute to Dublin with my daughter. I would like to know if you have private locked parking facilities.

I'm spending 2 weeks in Scotland then driving on to Wales. However, I'm not sure how to best use my week in Wales. I don't want to change lodging on a daily basis. I've thought about staying 3-4 days in one area ( perhaps the Northern part) & last 3 days in the South, perhaps not too far from Cardiff airport. I welcome any suggestions anyone may have as to areas in particular. My intent is to stay in a small town or village which has at least some restaurants, pubs etc. I did see one coastal village called Solva
( saw a lovely B&B there ) Whatever area I choose, I want to be able to visit
villages, castles etc. Any input anyone may offer is appreciated. Thanx
