Southwest Wexford is “the secret Ireland” - unspoilt and awaiting to be discovered. It is distinctly different from the rest of the country, and possesses a landscape, history, culture and character of its own. Its uniqueness is due in no small part to some early visitors from across the seas: the Celts, Vikings and Normans who came, conquered and liked the place so much that they stayed! Of course, it goes without saying that the coastline is one of the special attractions of this area. Pretty fishing villages, bird watching on the mudflats of Bannow Estuary, deep-sea angling, snorkelling and swimming –there are as much a part of the area’s marine life as the fish that swim in the sea! Similarly, the rivers, valleys, estuaries and rolling hills, which have for so long provided South West Wexford with rich grazing land, are also the ideal playgrounds for a relaxing summer break.
