Landbridge crossings to the UK from Ireland


A ‘landbridge’ crossing is when you combine a crossing from Ireland to the UK and a channel crossing from the UK to the continent.

You need to use the same operator for each return journey, (i.e. from Ireland to the UK and from the UK to the continent) but you can combine any operators to create the landbridge route.
