About Oilgate
Oilgate is a small rural village in north County Wexford, on the River Slaney and close to the N11, with Wexford town roughly 10 kilometres to the south. It has a quiet, village-and-country character, while the surrounding townlands provide a settled residential base for commuters, families and people seeking easier access to the coast and countryside. Local day-to-day life centres on the village, nearby Crossabeg and Screen, with a much wider choice of shops, services, schools and healthcare available in Wexford town. The N11 provides the principal road connection towards Wexford, Enniscorthy and Dublin, and private transport is generally important for commuting and school runs. Primary-school provision is available in the surrounding villages, while secondary schools and further education are concentrated mainly in Wexford and Enniscorthy. The area is well placed for walking, fishing and outdoor recreation around the Slaney valley, with beaches and heritage attractions on the Wexford coast within driving distance. For pubs, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and larger leisure facilities, residents typically travel to Wexford town, although local public houses and community facilities remain important parts of village life.
