About Blackwater
Blackwater is a village and rural locality in north-east County Wexford, close to the coast and within easy reach of Curracloe, Kilmuckridge, The Ballagh, Oulart and Screen. It has a peaceful, predominantly rural character, with a traditional village centre, surrounding farmland and a strong connection to nearby beaches and holiday areas. Day-to-day living is suited to households who value space and countryside while still wanting access to village services and larger centres such as Gorey and Wexford town. Local education is centred on primary schooling in and around Blackwater, with secondary schools and broader services generally accessed in Enniscorthy, Gorey or Wexford. Bus travel is available through regional services, although a car is particularly useful for commuting, shopping and school runs. The village has local shops, pubs and places to eat, while Curracloe and the coast provide additional leisure, walking and beach options. S&E Farrell Holiday Parks is a notable local business, reflecting the area’s appeal to visitors, and the surrounding community is active in Gaelic games and other rural clubs. Wexford town offers the widest choice of retail, healthcare, cultural and employment facilities, while Dublin commuting is possible by road but represents a longer journey.
