Wexford is famous for its golden beaches, sunny weather (by Irish standards), and the Wexford Opera Festival, one of Europe’s premier opera events. The county is also rich in Viking heritage, with Enniscorthy Castle and Irish National Heritage Park teaching us all about the past. For food lovers, the Wexford Strawberry Festival celebrates the county’s reputation for growing some of the juiciest strawberries in Ireland. And if you're looking for a unique Halloween experience, the Hook Lighthouse Spooky Tours add a ghostly twist to one of the world’s oldest lighthouses.
