A county with an ancient and colourful heritage, boasting a delightful scenic mix of mountains, valleys, flora, fauna, stunning beaches, scenic villages and pretty harbours dotted around the coast. Our base for exploring this delightful region is the cosmopolitan county town of Wexford. Founded by the Vikings and developed by the Normans, it retains something of its earlier character with lots of interesting narrow streets and a long attractive quayside.
