Ah well, Wexford got as far as the semi-finals in the All-Ireland Hurling last year... so maybe this year will be their year! (For more on hurling check out my 'sports tips'.)
Besides a liking for sport, Wexford is a very beautiful county (and apparently the only one in Ireland able to grow strawberries!). It is known as part of the sunny south east.
For a little more on Wexford, that is not included in the tips below, see my Ferns page!
Trivia: The saying 'By Hook or by Crook', comes from 2 lighthouses in the south of Ireland - Hook Lighthouse in Wexford and Crook Lighthouse in county Waterford. Sailors would say that they'd arrive in Ireland 'by Hook or by Crook'.
Loftus Hall
This is supposed to be the most haunted house in Ireland. It is just near Hook Lighthouse. It is currently vacant, and believe me, standing there and taking the picture, it did feel a bit eerie
Sign Posts
You'll find that most signs in Ireland are in both English and Irish (Gaelic).
- Pros:Great hospitality! Beautiful scenery!

Must get to Ireland some day.... I see you are a cider drinker - you can't beat it!!
Hm...? Still waiting to get my first drink/beer bought by an Irish... ;) Although you did say no guarantees... Great page, as usual! Wonder if I ever will be able to understand the rules in hurling though...?
We enjoyed some Rugby Union in ireland too - many years ago!
Great Wexford page. Glad you liked the hurling, it's huge in Kilkenny, where I'm originally from.
Brings back memories. Thanks for sharing!
I guess there will be no strawberries in January. :(
