Irish Travel Notes

WAYS of reaching Ireland seem to be as numerous as ways to the Continent. Choice of route must be determined by the tour of Ireland which the visitor has in mind. If it be a question of the shortest sea route, bad sailors will obviously choose Euston Station as the point of starting and proceed via Holyhead and Kingstown, a few miles below Dublin. This route is by day ; one starts at 8.30 a.m. reaching Dublin at 6 p.m. All other routes are over-night and that which nearest approaches the one mentioned in shortness of duration is from Paddington to Rosslare Harbour, in the South-East corner of the Irish Free State. Visitors from the North and Midlands are served by the Heysham service to Belfast and by the Liverpool service to Belfast or Dublin.
