You could even take a short 10-minute drive to admire the Georgian architecture at Woodville House and Gardens, or learn about the intriguing Irish-American history at the Kennedy Homestead.

The medieval lanes and ruined abbeys of Wexford’s coastal town are also just a 35-minute drive away, with the National Opera House providing world-class performances and the soft sands of Curracloe Beach boasting beautiful sea views. Standing at the edge of The Hook Peninsula, the striped Hook Lighthouse is also a particular highlight, while nearby Tintern Abbey offers a fascinating glimpse into Irish monastic history.
