visitors

Hi, I have family coming over from the U.S in August and I was looking for some good ideas as how to entertain them and show them the sights. As I'm not living in Wexford long myself I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.;)

Some places that come to mind quickly to take visitors in the South East or Ireland

• The John F Kennedy Arboretum
• Dunbrody Famine Ship
• Glendalough

• You could do a nice drive to The Hook Lighthouse, then down to Duncannon and over to Waterford on the ferry and drive along the coast to Dunmore East, Tramore and follow on to Dungarvan (Copper Coast Drive)...drive back back the main roads.
• Kilkenny Castle, on the way to back wexford stop in Inistioge and visit Woodstock Gardens
  
• Sproai Festival in Waterford City, August Bank Holiday Weekend, really good buzz around the city. Plenty of street theatre and performers. Big night parade on the final night.
• Kilmeadon Vintage Train
• Book a weekend away in some unusual 'landmark' property through Irish Landmark Trust

Hope this is of some help

Regards
BFG

The Fleadh Ceoil runs on 22nd/23rd August in Tullamore... Traditional music, they might find that interesting...

You could take them to a show in the Wexford Opera house, I've heard it's really amazing.

There's the 1798 centre in Enniscorthy, a historical tour, while you are there you could visit Vinegar Hill which has spectacular views of the blackstairs mountains. You could also go visit the Cathedral in the town and walk past Enniscorthy Castle.

All depends on where in Wexford you will be based, whether you have transport and what kind of activities you want to do. Already a load of good advice but most won;t be of much use without transport.......if you want more ideas let us know
