VISIT WEXFORD

-

Whether it’s a short family break, a two-week holiday surrounded by Ireland’s most beautiful beaches, or if you are an ‘empty nester’ looking for a well-deserved break; then Wexford is the place to visit in 2020!

Wexford has a huge selection of family-friendly hotels that cater for children of all ages, while ensuring adults also have time to explore and discover some of the county’s many hidden treasures. For example, the recently re-vamped Dunbrody Famine Ship Experience, a new immersive visitor experience which transports the visitor back in time to experience New Ross in its former role as an emigration port.

Or check out the recently opened Gothic Revival Castle at Johnstown Castle, Estate Museum & Gardens. This entirely new ‘3in-1’ attraction at the castle, museum and ornamental gardens includes a new visitor centre and café in the castle courtyard, and a new lower lake walk-and-woodland play area. There’s also a unique 86-metre-long servants’ tunnel – from the original meathouse to the castle basement and kitchens!

For families, Kia Ora Mini Farm, Pirates Cove, Wells House and Hook Head Adventures are among the highlights not to be missed. Or for those who enjoy exploring the very best of the county’s vast heritage and charm, Wexford Trails is now one of Ireland’s leading trail networks that offers walking, craft, heritage and garden trails across the county.
