Wexford is the county town of County Wexford, Ireland. Wexford lies on the south side of Wexford Harbour, the estuary of the River Slaney near the southeastern corner of the island of Ireland. The town is linked to Dublin by the M11/N11 National Primary Route; and to Rosslare Europort, Cork and Waterford by the N25. The national rail network connects it to Dublin and Rosslare Europort. It had a population of 21,524 according to the 2022 census.

One of the main attractions in Wexford is the town’s rich history. The town dates back to the Viking era, and visitors can explore the town’s medieval walls and the impressive Hook Lighthouse, which was built in the 13th century. If you’re a history buff, you’ll also want to visit the Irish National Heritage Park, which is located just outside of town and features recreated historical sites from different periods in Irish history.

But Wexford isn’t just a town for history buffs – it’s also home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland. The town’s main beach, Curracloe Strand, was the filming location for the iconic D-Day scene in the movie Saving Private Ryan. Other beaches in the area include Rosslare Strand and Ballinesker Beach, which is another location used in the movie.
