Wexford
Located in the southeast of Ireland on the Irish Sea coast. Wexford is famous for its international opera festival, which each October draws classical music lovers from around the world to this charming harbour town to hear rarely performed works on stage. The Viking and Norman heritage is palpable in the narrow lanes, the medieval towers and the nearby Hook Lighthouse, the oldest operational lighthouse in the world. Curracloe Beach with its kilometres of sand dunes – a filming location for scenes from Schindler's List – invites relaxed beach walks in summer on the sunny side of Ireland.
