| Hook Lighthouse and Ferns, Co. Wexford. |
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'. |

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 |

Must get to Ireland some day.... I see you are a cider drinker - you can't beat it!! | Henrik_rrb Tue May 15, 2007 01:35 UTC
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...? | thedouglas Fri Oct 6, 2006 08:02 UTC
We enjoyed some Rugby Union in ireland too - many years ago! | barryg23 Fri Sep 29, 2006 22:08 UTC
Great Wexford page. Glad you liked the hurling, it's huge in Kilkenny, where I'm originally from. |
