2025 Wexford Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

The young lady visits Ireland every year, and this time her main destination was Saltee Island to see puffins. On the first afternoon, her flight arrived on time 🛬. After picking her up, we first headed to the Glendalough Monastery ruins and lake area in Wicklow Mountains National Park, also known as the Heart-Shaped Lake. The young lady took a short hike and captured many beautiful photos. Then we drove directly to Wexford, where she enjoyed dinner in the town before being taken to her hotel in Kilmore Quay to rest. The next morning, she woke up naturally and enjoyed a traditional Irish breakfast before walking to the pier for the island birdwatching tour. She had booked her boat tickets well in advance, and the weather was exceptionally good—sunny with little wind. After about 3 hours on the island (excluding the boat ride), she returned to the pier in the afternoon. After a short break, we continued to Hook Lighthouse, an ancient lighthouse with stunning coastal cliff views. Following dinner in Wexford, we returned to Dublin, happily concluding the trip. 🌹

#getgoing2025 Mill Bay, Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland This tiny island (six miles long and one mile wide) draws in visitors from all over the world thanks to the puffins nesting on the cliffs. Spend a morning watching these portly little birds dive-bombing into the sea for fish, and after a seafood lunch in the Water Shed Cafe, head down to the harbour for an afternoon stroll on Mill Bay. This small beach near the ferry port takes its name from the old ruins of the kelp-drying mill nearby. Today, it’s the preferred nap spot of the local seals, who will happily flop down just feet away from you to enjoy the sun. If you plan to join them, make sure to bring a deckchair as the beach is stony rather than sandy.

#timetotravel My visit to the Irish National Heritage Park in Ireland was an immersive journey through centuries of Irish history and culture. Located near Wexford, this captivating park welcomed me with its meticulously reconstructed historical sites, interactive exhibits, and lush natural surroundings. As I walked through the different eras of Ireland's past, from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages, I was transported to another world, where ancient dwellings and rituals came to life. The park's location along the picturesque River Slaney made it a perfect blend of education and scenic beauty. It wasn't just a park; it was a time machine that allowed me to connect with Ireland's diverse heritage, sparking my curiosity about the stories and traditions that have shaped the nation. The Irish National Heritage Park left me enriched with knowledge and a deeper respect for Ireland's cultural roots.
