About Tacumshane
Tacumshane is a small rural locality in south County Wexford, set just inland from the coast between Rosslare Strand and Kilmore Quay, and within easy reach of Wexford Town. The area is characterised by open farmland, quiet boreens and the expansive Tacumshane Lake, a Special Area of Conservation known for its birdlife and big skies. Living here offers a peaceful, countryside setting while still being within a 15–20 minute drive of the shops, schools and services of Wexford Town (Y35). Everyday essentials are typically accessed in nearby villages or in Wexford, where centres such as SuperValu and the Key West Shopping Centre provide supermarkets, retail and pharmacy services. Families generally look to surrounding villages and Wexford Town for primary and secondary schools, with school transport linking rural homes to these centres. For commuting, the R736 and connecting regional roads link to Wexford and the N25, while Rosslare Europort offers rail and ferry connections. Leisure time is often spent on the nearby beaches at Rosslare Strand, at GAA grounds in neighbouring parishes, or enjoying matches and events at Chadwicks Wexford Park in Wexford Town.
