Wexford paints Irish culture in a unique light by preserving the history and giving it a cosmopolitan twist. With roots stemming from early Celtic and Nordic heritage, Wexford boasts quaint narrow streets, ancient town walls, and an award-winning Quayfront. Flanking these streets and ancient structures are health spas, leisure centuries, luxury boutiques, and Holiday Home Direct’s picturesque self catering Wexford homes.
What makes Wexford stand out among Ireland’s plethora of charming villages? For one, Wexford is unparalleled in its devotion to equestrian prowess. Visitors can horseride through the rugged scenery or canter along the crashing surf of the breathtaking coastline. What better way to greet the summer day outside your Wexford holiday home than with a morning ride down the beach? For more ambitions travelers, sign up for eleven days of top class racing, trainers, and jockeys at Wexford Racecourse. For avid fishermen, venture to one of the many praised rivers and lakes teaming with salmon and trout.
In keeping with such bountiful nature, Wexford boasts a distinct cuisine of fresh, locally cultivated seafood. Be sure to taste Wexford’s token dish, smoked cod. And for aspiring chefs, try to replicate the dish in the comfort of your Wexford accommodation!
For family fun, try one of the many watersports or see whales in their natural habitat. There are also petting farms, cinemas, arcades, adventure playgrounds, treasure hunts, and nature rambles within walking distance of your self catering Wexford home. And while you may be too old to appreciate the playground , you will be as entertained as your child at the maritime museum on board the lightship Guillemot in Kilmore Quay. So what better way to take an Irish getaway than with one of our Wexford holiday homes? Do not let the summer pass you by! Visit our selection of Wexford accommodations today!
