    Road cycling

    An update to 51m's post - cyclists now pay £2.15 to cross.

    Those seeking a long ferry trip are advised to take one of the length-wise cruises; this width-wise ferry is basically a utilitarian (though still picturesque) crossing - takes a little under 5 minutes to complete once started.
