About Craanford
Craanford is a small rural village in north County Wexford, in the Y25 area between Gorey, Bunclody and Carnew. It has a quiet, close-knit countryside character, with homes and farmland centred around the village and the scenic Boro River valley. Day-to-day living is peaceful and car-dependent, while Gorey provides the broadest choice of supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, services and secondary schooling within a practical driving distance. Craanford National School, commonly known locally as the Blue School, serves primary-age children, with further education options available in nearby towns. Road connections are the main transport asset: the village is reached by local regional roads, with the N11 and Gorey giving access towards Dublin and Wexford, while rail services are available from Gorey. Local social life is centred on community activities, traditional pubs and GAA, with nearby villages such as Camolin and Hollyfort adding further rural amenities.
