Best Answer

The single busiest ferry port in the UK is Dover, with 1.6 million cars, 700,000 lorries, 118,000 buses and 16 million passengers a year.

It is so popular because it is only 21 miles from Calais, France - the gateway to continental Europe.

How long is the flight from Dublin Ireland to London England?

You can fly in about an hour. By road you can drive from a number of ferry ports, like Fishguard, Holyhead or Liverpool having got a ferry. If you went to Fishguard, you would have had to drive a bit more before leaving Ireland as the ferry is not from Dublin, but Fishguard is nearer to London than the other ports. It could be anything from 3 to 7 hours by ferry and a 3 to 4 hour journey to London from whichever of the ports you arrived at after that.
