About Wexford Town
Wexford Town is the county’s principal urban centre, set on the River Slaney estuary in south-east Ireland and serving a wide rural hinterland including Castlebridge, Barntown, Piercestown and the Rosslare area. It combines a historic town centre and quayside with established residential neighbourhoods, newer housing, schools and everyday services, giving it a practical, family-friendly feel. Education is well represented locally, with primary and secondary schools including Kennedy Park National School, St Peter’s College and Our Lady of Lourdes National School, while Wexford CBS and Loreto Secondary School provide further options. Commuters have access to Wexford railway station, regional bus services and the N11/N25 road network, with Rosslare Europort within straightforward driving distance. The town centre offers independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs, alongside cultural venues such as the National Opera House and Wexford Arts Centre. Residents also benefit from parks, sports facilities and community amenities, including Parklands and the Kennedy Park National School Basketball Court, while Chadwicks Wexford Park serves local building and home-improvement needs. Wexford’s coastal and rural setting makes beaches, walking routes and villages such as Rosslare Strand readily accessible, while local clubs and businesses provide an active community network.
