I'm heading for Spain mid march and was wondering which is easiest to depart from Plymouth or Portsmouth Is there an easy access to either port and better parking dock side if I'm early I will be coming down from Scotland regards and thanks

Port Solent just before Portsmouth is favoured by many for an overnight stop.

Plymouth is a bit of a drive through the city.

Whichever route you choose, book it soon. When I was checking a few days ago for a crossing to Spain in mid-March there was very limited cabin availability. Also, the current free upgrade offer for bookings ends 29th Feb. This may be worth having in case of delays driving from Scotland.

Shorter crossing from Plymouth by around 10 hours but don’t start again until 20 March

I am only biased because I live near Plymouth but I imagine the ships from each port must have a bearing on things. Pont Aven is fine out of Plymouth. Also the route from Scotland is pretty straightforward coming down the M6, M5, then A38 dual carriageway from Exeter to Plymouth. The route through the city is well signed but locals would take a shorter more direct route through the busier parts of the city which are frankly not an issue.

I have not travelled from Portsmouth.
