Irish Heritage Park & Enniscorthy


Still on our weekend in Wexford, on Sunday we crossed the bridge past Wexford town and headed north-east to visit the Irish National Heritage Park in Ferrycarrig.



Equipped with our raincoats and umbrellas, just in case, the weather perked up that morning and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip through Irish history...



Set on 35 acres of land, the heritage park is a fun way of learning about how people have lived on this island for the past 9,000 years.


Our guide described everything to us in great detail. His Irish accent made it hard for our foreign guests to follow a lot of his anecdotes, but we did our best to translate the gist of it!

All of us on the heritage trail...

Viking ships...



After our tour we had lunch overlooking this lake.



We decided to travel on to Enniscorthy for the afternoon as the Strawberry Fair was on there.



It is a quaint little town...


But, alas, the rain came tumbling down and we found ourselves scoffing the strawberries fast and then seeking shelter...


After coffee time, we took a stroll across the bridge over the River Slaney...



The grey clouds eventually swallowed all the blue...


So we headed back to our holiday cottage for the night...
