east of Ardcavan. It is a lovely place to visit, a small but perfect
exhibition, great bird watching and often has great family
activities planned.
Wexford Harbour is sheltered and shallow and contains several
species of fish. There are a number of popular shore fishing grounds
including Ardcavan, and nearby Ferrybank, Katts Strand, and
Ferrycarrig . Wexford harbour is growing in popularity as a small
boat angling venue. It`s geographical position means that it is
sheltered to all winds except easterlies. Ardcavan Strand is located
on the Eastern side of the harbour adjacent to the bird sanctury and
due south of Castlebridge. Fresh water which, crosses the beach here
from a sluice, encourages numbers of flounder, eels and occasional
bass to frequent the area.
Irish National Heritage Park in nearby Ferrycarrig (5km) depicts
man's settlement in Ireland from 7000 BC to the arrival of the
Normans in the 12th Century. Stroll through the park with its
homesteads, places of ritual, burial modes and long forgotten
remains. Attractions include exhibitions, nature trails,
audio-visual show, craft and book shop and restaurant |
