Wexford

Situated in the south east corner of Ireland, Co. Wexford has a wonderful mix of mountainous scenery, river valleys and unspoiled sandy beaches. The Wexford region of the south east continues to enjoy the driest weather in the country, with over 200km of stunning coastline, a wealth of historic sites, and attractive towns and villages, its little wonder that Wexford is a favourite holiday destination for visitors.

Things to do

  1. Heritage
    Take a step back in time and visit one of the many ancient and historic fortifications situated in the county. The Scenic Hook Peninsula on the south coast of Wexford offers some of the most stunning scenery in the country, a wild rocky coast in places and stunning golden beaches in others. Hook Lighthouse itself is one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world. This area is also home to the ruins of two Cistercian Abbeys, Tintern Abbey and Dunbrody Abbey and is steeped in history and heritage.
  2. Fishing
    With such a long coastline sea and shore fishing is widely available as is excellent game angling. Good coarse angling facilities are available. Choose fly and bait fishing in the Lakes of Loch Mahon or go Salmon and Trout fishing in Oaklands Lake, Newross. Wexford can cater for the most experienced to the beginners.
  3. Golfing
    Wexford is a golfer’s paradise with six championship golf courses within twenty minutes drive and its wonderful natural terrain around the coastline provides superb linkland. Taste the mixture of salt and sand by playing some of the famous links or enjoy the beauty of the parkland courses.
