We are wanting to take our first visit to Ireland, but we also want to visit Iona in Scotland.
Is there a ferry from Ireland to Iona or must you first go to England and then to Scotland? Besides Iona, we only want to tour Ireland.

Hello everybody.
one Answer
Iona is a good bit out of your way from Ireland. There is a ferry you can take from Northern Ireland to Scotland but then you would have to drive or take a bus from there to get up to Iona. Driving is a good 7 hours; by bus it would be a lot longer. You could try getting a cheap flight from Dublin or Belfast into Glasgow then drive from there – again, it’s a long drive, over 5 hours. Either way you will want to take a couple of days at least.
Not sure how much time you have in total but unless it’s more than a week (you may get away with it if you had 10 days – 7 in Ireland and 3 to get to, visit and return from Iona), I would save Scotland for a separate trip.
