Exploring Wexford
The town of Wexford is ideal for casual exploration, and it offers tourists a plethora of opportunities for just wandering about. The Quayfront has been given a facelift by the authorities, and it allows for very pleasant strolls to be taken along the bank of the River Slaney. On the quayside, an agency called Harbour Thrills provides boat trips around the Wexford Harbour, mixing the thrill of adventure with the glorious beauty of nature. You can also hire a boat at Ferrycarrig and explore the river by yourself if you feel up to it.
For the more urban tourists, the Main Street and its multitude of alleyways are havens for exploring. Many interesting sights can be seen there.
For golf enthusiasts, there is Wexford Golf Course, located mere minutes away from the Mulgannon town center. Garrylough, Rosslare, Rathaspeck, Blackwater and St. Helen's Bay are home to other neighbouring golf courses. The Bettyville racecourse caters to horse-racing. It is 2 kilometers outside the town of Wexford, and an approximate of ten meetings are held every year.
The new Tourist Office which can be found on the Quayfront is open all the year round, and a large variety of information on various activities such as walking tours, hiking, local festivals, horse-riding, cultural events, accommodation choices and eating out can be obtained from it.
