About Duncannon
Duncannon is a small coastal village on the Hook Peninsula in south County Wexford, facing Waterford Harbour and known for its sandy beach, historic fort and open maritime setting. It has a peaceful, community-oriented feel, with most everyday services found locally or in nearby villages such as Arthurstown, Ramsgrange and Fethard. Duncannon Beach is the centre of outdoor life, supporting swimming, walking, boating and seasonal beach activities, while Duncannon Fort is the area’s defining landmark. Education is provided through nearby village primary schools, with secondary schooling and a broader range of services generally accessed towards Ramsgrange, New Ross or Waterford. Local dining and refreshment options are seasonal in character, including the beach area and nearby village pubs and restaurants, while larger supermarket shopping is usually planned around New Ross or Waterford. Road access is the main transport option, with regional routes connecting the peninsula to New Ross and ferry links across the estuary from Passage East to County Waterford. The area suits residents seeking coastal scenery, a slower pace and strong links to the Hook Peninsula rather than an urban commuting environment.
