Wexford Walking Trail
A selection of beautiful walks awaits you in Wexford: wooded, historic, coastal and mountain trails. Choose a different walk each day. Located in the south-east of the island of Ireland, County Wexford has an exceptionally varied landscape for you to savour. Ranging from long sandy beaches in the east to the wild Hook Peninsula in the south-west. Walk through bird-rich polders beside Wexford town. Traverse the slopes of Mount Leinster and the Blackstairs Mountains in the west.
Choose from a wide range of quality walks through quiet rural landscapes of diverse character. All trails are steeped in the history of the island long regarded as ‘the end of the known world’. Wexford, on the gentle River Slaney, has been the gateway for repeated invasions down the centuries. Archaeological treasures abound: religious, civic, military, from the earliest times down to the high mediaeval to the John F Kennedy experience of recent decades.

Walking during the Covid-19 outbreak

The benefits of walking cannot be underestimated in helping us to care for our physical and mental health. We need these benefits in our lives now more than ever. Seize the opportunity to breathe in the fresh air, admire the buds on the trees and the fresh new growth, the colours of nature in spring, to hear the birds singing and look at the clouds in the sky. For the foreseeable future it is vital that we make a conscious effort to respect the advice given by the HSE and the WHO. It is our responsibility to adhere to all the guidelines outlined and to focus on our own personal health. In doing so we will save lives.
