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, but 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.

Hook Lighthouse in County Wexford is the oldest operational lighthouse in the world. Legend has it that Dubhan, a 6th-century Welsh monk, established the first light on Hook Head after being dismayed at discovering the shipwrecked bodies of sailors on the rocks below.
