Activities and Attractions
A suggested two day itinerary, suitable for all, including those visitors with a wheelchair user in the group is:
Sunday
Morning Visit nearby scenic Kilmore Quay, where there is plenty of free car parking. Take a trip down the piers and see the fishing fleet in harbour and the pleasure craft in the Marina. (Accessible toilets are located beside the pier.)
Lunch at the famous seafood restaurant "The Silver Fox" in Kilmore Quay
Afternoon Visit the scenic gardens at Johnstown Castle. Many of the pathways are on tarmacadem, and there are accessible toilets in the grounds. We will provide you with a complimentary ticket to visit the gardens. You can also visit the Irish Agricultural Museum and Famine Exhibition, located in the grounds. (A small part of this museum is not accessible). It was "Highly Commended" in The Museum of the Year Awards in 2003.
Monday
A nice day trip, (visiting accessible attractions), would be;
Morning - Dunbrody Heritage Ship is a beautiful authentic recreation of an original tall ship, that took thousands of Irish emigrants to North America from Wexford in the mid 1800’s. There are live actors to bring this attraction to life. There is a wheelchair lift to give access to the lower deck.
Afternoon – Visit the world famous Waterford Crystal glass factory and visitor centre. (This is also accessible and has wheelchair toilet facilities).

There are lots of other trips that you could do, the suggested itinerary is just a sample. We would be delighted to help you find sights and attractions that would suit you and give you a flavour of Wexford and Ireland in the short time frame of your stay with us.
