Hi Folks,
I am currently touring around the Cotswalds by bike and would like to add a visit to Ireland by way of ferry from Pembroke.
Can anyone please recommend a route from Oxford (my current base) to Pembroke?
I can easily handle 50 to 70 miles a day under easy to moderate conditions.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
Bill
(PS - this represents a change in plans (Oxford to Holyhead) since I first posted a few weeks ago.)

Re: Oxford to Ireland Ferry Route Suggestions?
Hi Folks,
I am thrilled, but not surprised by all the help being offered by everyone!
Great stuff, and will definitely help me set up a much better route than I would have managed.
CTC members are the BEST!
Thanks again, and keep the suggestions coming.

Oxford to Ireland Ferry Route Suggestions?
Hello,
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer me any advice.
I will be visiting from the states for three weeks in July/August. A friend will be putting me up in Oxford.
One of my goals on this trip is to ride from there to one of the ferry ports serving Ireland. As I am on a very limited budget, I hope to use couchsurfing.org to find places to stay overnight.
Can someone please suggest a route for this ride? Ideally, I'd like to avoid both large cities and long stretches of steep grades. I also welcome any suggestions for camping along the way.
It would be an extra huge help if someone could suggest routes for scenic day rides out of Oxford, as well.
Thank you, from an old friend of the CTC,
Bill
