Dún Laoghaire is a suburban seaside town and county seat of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County, Ireland. The town has a ferry connection to Holyhead in Anglesey, Wales, one of Ireland's main sea links to the UK. The harbour, one of the largest in the country, and base for a major car ferry route to the United Kingdom, is notable for its two granite piers. Much of the town's early growth came from visitors from Dublin, and today there is one large hotel, heavily refurbished in 2007, the Royal Marine, along with several small hotels, and a number of bed-and-breakfasts.

Holyhead is the largest town in the county of Anglesey in the north west of Wales. Although it is the largest town in the county it is neither the county town nor actually on the island of Anglesey. Instead, it is located on Holy Island which is connected to Anglesey by Four Mile Bridge, so called because it is four miles from Holyhead on the old post road from London, and a causeway built by local philanthropist Lord Stanley in the 19th century. The causeway now carries the A5/A55 road and the railway line to Chester, Crewe and London.

Holyhead has a busy ferry port handling more than 2 million passengers each year. Stena Line, Europe's biggest ferry company, operates from the port as do Irish Ferries. Ferries sail to Dun Laoghaire and Dún Laoghaire in Ireland and this forms the principal link for surface transport from central and northern England and Wales to Ireland. There is archaeological evidence that people have been sailing between Holyhead and Ireland for 4,000 years. Holyhead's maritime importance was at its height in the 19th century when the two and a half mile breakwater, widely acknowledged to be one of Britain's finest, was built, creating a safe harbour for vessels caught in stormy waters on their way to Liverpool and the industrial ports of Lancashire. Holyhead's sea heritage is remembered in a maritime museum. Holyhead is one of the most popular ports in the UK.
