A trip to County Wexford in Ireland

Wexford town offers many attractions for any visitor whether domestic or international. The scenery is excellent as shown by the two pictures which were taken looking either side of Wexford bridge.


The three main hotels in the town include the River Bank Hotel, Talbot Hotel and Whites of Wexford with each hotel offering something unique in their own right.

The River Bank Hotel is located on the other side of Wexford Bridge. Adjacent to the hotel is Ferry Bank camping site and also Wexford indoor swimming pool and gym. The River Bank Hotel has a country and homely feel to it and the staff are welcoming and friendly. In addition it is kept clean and the food is very good quality. This would be my hotel of choice for a trip away in Wexford from both a price and service perspective.


Whites of Wexford and the Talbot Hotel are located in the main town centre. Both of these hotels are modern with live music on the weekends. Any one of the three hotels is a good choice but make sure to check for the best prices on their websites.

The main street in the town is not huge so getting around on foot is not a problem. There are many places to shop for clothes, electronics and also general goods. Pubs are dotted around the town and you can mix shopping with drinking or for you gentlemen Wexford is the perfect spot to let the wife go shopping while you get a few beers in. Some of my favourite pubs include - Barrets Bar, Simons Place, The Stores and also the bar in the Talbot Hotel.

There are also amusements in the town which only opened up a couple of years ago. Its no Las Vegas but if you fancy a flutter while your there they have a decent variety of slot machines to play.

If you do get the urge for some food during the day Sharkeys is an excellent option for fast food. They are a chipper that have seating inside. I got fresh cod and chips and a drink for about €9.

That's all folks, trying to keep it short and sweet because people get bored reading! If you have any questions please get in touch.
