Gorey is a
market town in north County Wexford. It is located 6km from
Ballymoney on Wexfords beautiful coastline and just 12km south of
the border with Co Wicklow. Its location makes it an ideal base for
exploring both Wexford and Wicklow.
Gorey is a lively town and has plenty to see and do. It has a good
choice of restaurants and pubs and golf and fishing are on offer in
the surrounding area. In recent years Gorey and its wider area have
developed a wide variety of recreation facilities including a state
of the art Skatepark and a new Multi-age Play Park based in the
Townpark. On the artistic and cultural front Gorey Little Theatre
hosts year round entertainment. North Wexford also has many noted
artists who exhibit their work regularly in the town.
