Wexford

County Wexford is located on the Southeast coast, the sunniest part of Ireland, surrounded by never-ending sandy beaches.

The population of Wexford town is 20.200

Wexford was founded over 1000 years ago and has retained its historical links with its Viking and Norman past. Those Viking ‘visitors’ laid out the narrow and picturesque streets and lanes, which today form a thriving town centre in Wexford. Here, you can experience a fantastic café culture and fine dining, along with a vibrant art and culture calendar.
