Meeting your driver:
Wexford has Viking bones under its streets. The town of Wexford was founded by the Vikings in the 9th century - the name itself comes from the Norse “Veisafjordr” - and walking the narrow lanes of the town centre, you’re tracing streets that have been in use for over a thousand years. The Wexford Town walking trail is a decent self-guided introduction, and the Wexford Heritage Park at Ferrycarrig has reconstructions of Viking and Norman settlements if you want that history brought to life.
The Hook Peninsula is one of Ireland’s most underrated corners. Hook Head Lighthouse, at the southern tip of Co. Wexford, is said to be one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world, with a history going back to the 5th century. The drive out along the Hook Peninsula is quiet and scenic, and the lighthouse itself runs guided tours. The phrase “by Hook or by Crook” is thought by some to originate from Cromwell’s campaign in this part of Ireland - though historians disagree on that one.
Wexford’s beaches are genuinely good. Rosslare Strand is the main family beach and one of the sunniest spots in Ireland - the southeast consistently gets more sunshine hours than the rest of the country. Curracloe Beach, further north, is famous as the filming location for the Normandy landing scenes in Saving Private Ryan and is a beautiful stretch of dune-backed sand well away from the crowds.
Timing around the Wexford Opera Festival. If your trip falls in late October, it’s worth knowing that Wexford hosts an internationally regarded opera festival that draws audiences from across Europe and beyond. Hotels in town fill up quickly during festival weeks, and the town has a noticeably different energy - very much a good thing if you enjoy that atmosphere, but worth factoring into your plans either way.
