Northern Ireland Cairnryan To Larne Ferry | Arriving At Curran Caravan Park

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

PLEASE NOTE: We chose the shortest route possible to get to and from Northern Ireland because Jenny has suffered bad seasickness in the past and we didn't want Poppy our Westie to spend too long in the motorhome. The crossing took 2 hours and cost £367 return, which we paid three years ago. Poppy was completely unfazed by the crossings, which she spent snoozing in her travel crate in the motorhome. At the time of filming (08/09/2022 to 25/09/2022) although Animal Health Certificates are required, we didn't get one because no checks were being carried out on pets being transported to and from Great Britain and Northern Ireland since the Northern Ireland Assembly suspended checks in 2021. (reference: www.daera-ni.gov.uk/news/permanent-solutions-needed-pet-checks). Be aware that this situation could change at any time! No human passports are required because the UK and Ireland are in a common travel area, but it advisable to take them with you as a form of ID.

*Transderm Scōp* is your friend if you suffer from motion sickness. I get really nauseated in cars and vans, but with Transderm scōp {from doctor} I could travel literally hours in a van , work a full day, then be a passenger to Fishguard for the night ferry {Rough to moderate} to Rosslare, collect a large item , then get back on same ferry and be a passenger in a van for hours...no nausea at all! {I can feel motion sick travelling into town on a bus}

And we'd need an Animal Health Certificate, or would we if there are no checks. Who knows?

It was interesting to see the Cairnryan Ferry Terminal. When I lived in that area, the ferries to Larne sailed from Stranraer. That was a while ago. There was a ship breaking yard at Cairnryan and I remember that they broke the old Ark Royal there. Changed days. I hope that you have an enjoyable time in Northern Ireland. Take care.

[@Oakleaf700]

Princess Victoria Ro~ro ferry left from there {Stranraer} on her tragic journey in 1953. 🙏 It is a tragedy not many people know about nowadays. RIP all those who were lost that day. {Some interesting , but deeply sad coverage with survivors are on an Irish radio programme here on You Tube}

Lovely video and I get Jenny’s trepidation. We, like you have dogs. The only thing that worries us is the fact that we have relations in Southern Ireland and we are not sure if they need anything? If you think about it if you live near the border you maybe be crossing over several ones with your pet and surely you can not keep producing documentation. Perhaps our vet could advise us. Guy.

Are larne if you walked straight down bay road opposite the campsite entrance you would have come out by the chaine memorial on the front by the sea. It's a nice walk round the bay up to the town park . My Gran used to live on Portland road which is the next street up .. excellent food at the olderfleet pub by the p&o ferry terminal. ballycastle is a nice wee town before you get up to the causeway I just love the coast road enjoy Northern Ireland

We’ve been planning our 6 week tour around Ireland since watching your videos last year , finally we are here and started our trip staying at Curran caravan park as our ferry didn’t get into Larne until 10pm … very handy site thank you for reviewing … I will keep in mind some of the other sites you stayed at on your trip .

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Good to hear. Don't miss the Bushmills and Rushlin House sites.

[@keithbradfield7825]

Enjoy your trip

[@patsmyth3941]

Arrival by ferry to Belfast is a much better route in terms of a much newer Ferry and on board facilities. The Titanic Centre should not be missed or the new modern city. A suggested route to the Dark Hedge’is along the coast road through Carrickfergus with its castle then Carnlough , Ballycastle etc as this is one of the most scenic routes in Europe. I hope you enjoy Northern Ireland and that it’s beautiful coast roads , beaches , walks will be experienced. On the way back I would stay at Carnfunock country park in Larne , other sites that are a must are Castleward , Juniper Hill , Portstewart and Woodcroft in Newcastle. I hope you enjoy your visit.

Hope you enjoy your tour.

Recently travelled from Cairnryan (with Stena - will not travel P&O given their recent antics) to start the WAW and made the schoolboy error of staying over in the car park! The noise eek!!! Getting up for the 0730 crossing was not one of my best moments!! On the positive side managed to get a pet passport in NI for Mr Dog so should make next years European travel rather cheaper!! Nice video!

[@herewegowithtim1984]

We came back from NI 2 weeks ago. Did the same crossing as you- BTW the club lounge is a good add-on(not expensive and pays for itself really). We stayed in Ballygally Apartments for a week- fabulous Location right on the stunning Antrim coast. Loved NI- so much to see, beautiful scenery, interesting history of course and warm friendly people. We used Ballygally as a base and went all over . We were lucky with the weather. Have fun. Enjoyed the video.

[@tstuart7333]

Really sorry to hear that Jenny was unwell. Hoppe she is feeling better now. The ferries from Cairnryan can be quite costly. Stenaline is often seen as the better. Although it arrives to Belfast port as I'm sure you know. Did you visit the Antrim Lough Neagh caravan and motorhome site? Hope you both enjoyed your travels here. Stay safe and drive carefully. I would be on that A75 frequantly. Often a very nice drive. I know of a man who brings dog in from Slovacia to to the Republic, Then crosses the invisible border to bring and sell the animals in the north, he then bring the animals into the UK mainland via P&O/Stena. The hazard check are the only checks which have been in place for many years now. The best way to help aviod sea sickness is to sit as close to the centre of a ship. Back to front and on lower decs. There is the near centre point so less rolling no matter how bad the weather.
