Highlight • Rest Area

Wellingtonbridge is a small, rural village in County Wexford, once an important railway junction. Today, it's a peaceful spot with a few shops and pubs, surrounded by green fields. Nearby highlights include Coolhull Castle, the historic church in Carrig-on-Bannow, and the bird-rich Bannow Bay nature reserve.

Tintern Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

This Cistercian abbey, located in a valley northeast of the peninsula, was founded in 1200 by the Norman William de Clare. During his first trip to Ireland, he was caught in a storm and vowed to found an abbey if he survived. Monks inhabited the site until the 16th century, after which the abbey was owned by the Colclough family for almost 400 years. The complex, which offers a very photogenic view from the fortified bridge, has preserved beautiful remains, including an imposing crenellated tower.

Foulksmill mill

Highlight • Monument

Interesting looking old mill next to the bridge. No longer in operation, but very nice to look at none the less. No doubt gives the town its name. There are cottages that you can rent next to the mill.
