Explore South West England with DFDS
Green Avenue
The Dieppe-Newhaven maritime route connects the two land routes of "Green Avenue", a cycling route between Paris and London. On the British side, the route allows you to appreciate the variety of atmospheres in the South of England: from Newhaven to Heathfield, the majestic coastline from Heathfield to East Grinstead, rolling countryside and forest landscapes predominate, when the arrival on Redhill sees succeed nature and urban territories.
Wales
Bordered by the St. George's Canal and the Irish Sea, Wales is full of beautiful natural sites, including the Pembrokeshire Nature Reserve on the shore and the more rural Brecon Beacons. The city of Cardiff is confronted with architectural tradition and modernity, in a city famous for its castle, museums and rugby matches! Rich in Unesco World Heritage sites, the Province is marked by the history of its sites: the Middle Ages is represented by the castles of Gwynedd, dating from Edward I, and the nineteenth century by the presence of sites Blaenavon, where the importance of the Welsh Railway is measured, and the Pontcysyllte Canal Bridge.

Discover the English Channel with ORCA
The English Channel is even busier than it looks. Beneath the surface, dolphins, porpoises, and other marine mammals go about their lives, and on a Newhaven–Dieppe crossing, you've got a real chance of spotting them.
ORCA's Ocean Conservationists are on board to make sure you know what to look for. Drop into interactive presentations, join a wildlife watching session, or just keep your fingers crossed and your eyes on the horizon.
Travelling with kids? The games and sessions are designed to keep younger passengers engaged, not just entertained. And for wildlife enthusiasts, the conservation insights go deeper than you might expect from a ferry crossing.
