About New Ross
New Ross is a historic market and port town on the River Barrow in south-west County Wexford, close to the Kilkenny border and linked by the Y34 routing key. Set around a working quay and a compact town centre, it has a busy, traditional feel with independent shops, cafés and pubs lining streets that slope down to the waterfront. The town has strong maritime and emigrant heritage, celebrated at the Dunbrody Famine Ship, while green spaces such as Library Park and Pearse Park Pavilion provide everyday outdoor amenities. Families are well served by a choice of primary and secondary schools, and there is a solid sporting tradition through local GAA, rugby and rowing clubs. Bus Éireann routes and the N25 and N30 roads connect New Ross to Waterford, Wexford and beyond, making it a practical base for commuters. Residents have easy access to supermarkets, healthcare services and cultural venues including St. Michael’s Theatre, giving the town a self-contained feel with good regional links.
