Leisurely Lifestyle
Make it a break to remember this year as you unwind, take it slow and leisurely live in the moment. Take in the atmosphere of some of Wexford’s lovely establishments and appreciate the slower life in our sunny south east. Have a gander through Wexford Lavender Farm, taking in the beauty of colour, smells and the people that make it a farm. Allow some time for a lite bite or dessert at The Village at Wheelocks before a look in the cabins supporting local producers or a stroll through the woods. Alternatively, find some time to stroll through bloom at Beechdale Garden Centre before a slice of cake and a cup of tea in the Wildflower Café.

Wexford is rich for history and the perfect destination for history lovers. Whether it’s history surrounding the story of John F.
