3About Wexford
Wexford sits where the River Slaney meets the sea in Ireland's southeast, creating a distinctive harbour with reclaimed mudflats known as the Wexford Slobs. The M11 connects this county town of 21,500 to Dublin in 90 minutes, while Rosslare Europort lies 20 kilometres south for ferries to Wales and France. The medieval town centre follows narrow lanes off Main Street, famous for its October Opera Festival at the National Opera House. The Wexford Wildfowl Reserve draws birdwatchers to the North Slob, and the 1798 Centre displays original pikes forged by local blacksmiths for the United Irishmen's rebellion.
