Rugby Tours To Wexford

Rugby Tours to Wexford is a town in southeast Ireland, at the mouth of the River Slaney.

It’s known for its medieval lanes and the opera festival held in the modern National Opera House.

West Gate Heritage Tower is a restored 13th-century tollgate. It’s next to the old town walls and ruined 12th-century Selskar Abbey.

The Bullring Market Place, once a bull-baiting site, has a statue marking the 1798 Rebellion against British rule.

The town was founded by the Vikings in about 800 AD.

They named it Veisajjoror, meaning “inlet of the mud flats”, and the name has changed only slightly into its present form.

Wexford has many rugby clubs in its county all within easy distance for travelling.

Wexford itself, New Ross, Gorey and Enniscorty are all in the rugby family and strong rugby playing clubs.

No shortage of a fixture in Wexford.

Rugby Training

Attend an Intensive rugby training session with coaches from Leinster Rugby to help you improve your game and player’s skills.

The sessions here in Leinster are very good and a lot of teams comment on how good they are.

Of course it’s all down to the coach giving the session and the staff that do them are very good indeed.

Teams take on a lot what is taught to them and this is shown in their results when they get home.

It’s all down to our training sessions and the coaches we provide.

Beautiful Beaches

Take a Pony Trek along one of the many sandy beaches.

Courtown, Morriscastle, Ballinesker, Curracloe and more.

Steven Spielberg famously filmed the opening scenes from Saving Private Ryan here.

Also there’s a unique 10km looped walk circling the Raven Point Nature Reserve just before Wexford Harbour.

These beaches are so popular with the locals.

Visitors from surrounding inland counties travel too wexford for the sand and sea.

A real must stay place are the wexford beaches so come on down.

Loftus Hall

Loftus Hall is one spooky house.

Originally built in 1170 by a Norman knight called Raymond Le Gros.

In 1350 around the Black Death it became known as Redmond Hall after Le Gros changed his name to Redmond.

Its had many owners and the present owners are now preserving the building for many years to come.

Loftus Hall is Ireland’s most haunted house.  Here you will be given a guided tour around the property where you will learn all about the dark side of the house.

For those feeling really brave there is a lockdown at night where you be given a tour with the lights on then off.

You will be left on your own for the night until the early hours of the following day.

Enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand.

Tintern Abbey

Tintern Abbey is located in New Ross in County Wexford.

The abbey was founded by the Earl of Pembroke in 1200 A.D.

Legend says that when the Earl of Pembroke set sail on his voyage he reached a deadly storm which caused the boat to be shipwrecked, he then vowed to establish an abbey if he reached land safely.

The abbey was then colonised by monks at the Cistercian abbey at Tintern in Wales.

The Colclough family have been a huge part of the abbey for 100’s of years until 1959.

Since 1959 the abbey has been taken into government care as the last member of the Colclough family left the abbey.

Irish National Heritage Park

The Irish National Heritage Park is around 35 acres and it situated just north of Wexford Town.

This open air museum contains to-scale replicas of 9,000 year old historic features such as ring forts, old dolmens and early Christian Monasteries.

This unique heritage site allows you to take an journey through Pre-Historic Ireland, early Christian Ireland and the age of invasion across nearly 40 acres of woodland.
