About Gorey

Gorey is a prosperous market town in north County Wexford, close to the Wicklow border and within easy reach of the east coast at Courtown and Ballymoney. It has a lively but generally manageable town-centre feel, with established residential areas, newer housing and a strong family presence. Local education includes Gorey Community School, while Gorey School of English provides language-learning facilities; primary schools and childcare are also available in and around the town. Gorey railway station offers direct rail services north towards Dublin and south through County Wexford, making the town popular with commuters, while the M11 provides straightforward road access to Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford. Everyday shopping is well served by Dunnes Stores, supermarkets, independent retailers and the town’s cafés and services. The Ivy Bar is among the recognised local places for drinks and casual socialising, with further pubs, restaurants and cafés concentrated around the centre. Peoples Park provides useful green space for walking and recreation, while the Ashdown Park Hotel adds a swimming pool, leisure facilities, dining and event space. Nearby Courtown, Ballymoney and Tara Hill broaden the area’s coastal and outdoor appeal, and local GAA, soccer and community organisations contribute to Gorey’s active town life.
