The Location

Wexford Town
Wexford Town is a working town with a soul. Founded by Vikings, polished over 1,000 years, and lived in by some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. The streets are narrow and medieval. The pubs are the genuine article.
It’s also home to Ireland’s only purpose-built opera house, host to the world-renowned Wexford Festival Opera since 1951. Add Selskar Abbey, the West Gate Tower, the Irish National Heritage Park a Quay front that comes alive every summer and you’ve got a town, you will want to live in.
Beaches On Tap
Wexford has six Blue Flag beaches… six! Curracloe, a beach boasting 5 kilometres of cinematic golden sand, is the most famous. Others such as Rosslare Strand, Ballinesker, Carne, Morriscastle and Duncannon are all within an easy drive.
This isn’t a place you commute home to and shut the door. It’s a place you live.
