Hook Lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in Ireland and one of the oldest lighthouses in Europe. It dates back to the 12th century. It is an amazing structure that alone is well worth a day visit. However, there is also a Visitor Centre, beautiful walks along the headland, Slade Harbour and the mysterious Loftus Hall which is due to re-open to the public during 2012.

Johnstown Castle
A neo-Gothic castle just outside Wexford Town is surrounded by 20 hectares of gardens with a wide range of trees and shrubs – all well worth seeing. The Irish Agricultural Museum is also based here.
