3About New Ross
New Ross perches on a steep hillside above the River Barrow, where it meets the Nore and Suir at the Three Sisters confluence. This strategic spot made it one of Ireland's key medieval ports. The N25 connects you directly to Waterford (22 km) and Wexford (38 km), with the new Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge spanning the Barrow south of town. The star attraction is the Dunbrody Famine Ship, a full-scale replica of an 1840s emigrant vessel moored at the quayside, telling the powerful story of those who sailed from here during the Great Famine.
