About

County Wexford is located in the south east corner of Ireland. It is a holiday Mecca for Irish tourists in particular as the county is dubbed the “sunny southeast” and this claim is backed up scientifically. It receives more hours of sunshine per day than any other county in Ireland and the lowest rainfall as well. Being just two hours from Dublin, it is a very popular bolthole for residents of the capital, many of whom own holiday homes in the county. The leading attraction is the glorious beaches that dot the county all the way around it’s coastline from Courtown in the north of the county to Duncannon, close to Waterford City. The other principal towns in Wexford are New Ross, Gorey, and Enniscorthy.

 

Travelling to Wexford The main road from Dublin is N11/M11. From the west the N25 will bring you to Wexford from Waterford and Cork, whilst the N22 will bring you to Wexford from Limerick and Shannon. Wexford is a gateway to Ireland via the Port of Rosslare with services from France and the UK daily. Rail services north to Dublin serve most main towns en route. Second main line services Waterford and Limerick with spur at Limerick Junction for Cork – Kerry region. Bus services to all parts of the county are excellent and frequent.
