About Bannow

Bannow sits where Bannow Bay meets the Celtic Sea, about 20 kilometres southwest of Wexford town via the R733 through Bridgetown. Most visitors come off the N25, Ireland's main southern coastal route, making it roughly two hours from Dublin via the M11. The area draws touring drivers exploring the Ancient East region and those following the Hook Peninsula drive. Electric vehicle drivers should plan charging stops in Wexford or New Ross. This quiet coastal settlement is where the first Anglo-Norman invasion landed in 1169, when Strongbow's advance party came ashore at Bannow Island.
