Wexford

You’ll quickly warm to the charm and beauty of sunny Wexford.

From the sun-warmed beaches and pretty coastal villages of Courtown, Curracloe and Duncannon to the tranquil beauty of the John F. Kennedy Arboretum, Wexford flows along on a chilled-out vibe.

There’s nothing too hurried, nothing too hectic in this laid-back corner of Ireland’s sunny  South East, instead the county is blessed with lots of cosy picturesque villages, a wide range of birdlife, fascinating castles, abbeys and country houses and, of course, the oldest operational lighthouse in the world at Hook Head.
