County Wexford is in the south-eastern corner of the country, with a long coastline on both the Irish sea and Celtic Sea. On the north it is bounded by the hills of County Wicklow and on the west by the River Barrow and the Blackstairs mountains. Its fertile central plain is watered by the River Slaney. Wexford's history goes back to pre-Christian times. Above all, the county is rich in memories of the 1798 rising, when insurgent pikemen fought heroically against overwhelming odds.

For the holidaymaker in Wexford there are the sandy beaches of many resorts, angling and canoeing on the River Slaney, climbing in the Blackstairs mountains, and gold and hunting in several parts of the county.

The area is known locally as "The Sunny South-East" in recognition of its status as one of the sunniest and driest parts of the country.

Holiday accommodation in Wexford comes in all shapes and sizes, from top-class hotels to simple tourist hostels. But wherever you stay you will be assured of a warm Irish welcome and good food.
