Castlebridge
is a village in southeast Co Wexford. It is located just 5km north
of Wexford Town. It is located near the River Slaney and just north
of Wexford Harbour.
Castlebridge is an ideal base to explore the “Sunny South East”. It
has all the amenities of the vibrant town of Wexford on its doorstep
and yet is only a few kilometres away from the coast and from the
river Slaney.
The beautiful blue flag Curracloe Beach is just over 5km east of the
village and features miles of safe, sandy beach. The iconic opening
shots of the movie blockbuster Saving Private Ryan were filmed here.
Curracloe offers something for the fisherman from beach fishing to
sea angling.
A similar distance to the south of Castlebridge is the Wexford
Wildfowl Reserve. There is a well-equipped visitor centre on the
reserve featuring many exhibitions and an informative audio visual
show.
The nearby historic town of Wexford has narrow winding streets, a
colourful quayside lined with historical buildings and a vibrant
nightlife. The internationally renowned Wexford Festival Opera is
held annually in October and draws audiences and artists from all
over the world. The Wexford Golf Club at Mulgannon is just 7.5km
from Castlebridge.
The Irish National Heritage Park is located in nearby Ferrycarrig
(7km). This park brings to life the history of life in Ireland since
the stone Age. Occupying 25 acres it has 16 archaeological and
historical reconstructions of prehistoric houses, a megalithic tomb,
a fulacht fiadh, a ringfort, crannog, monastic site, Anglo-Norman
Motte and Bailey Castle and much more. |
