About Kilrane

Kilrane is a small rural village in south County Wexford, immediately inland from Rosslare Harbour and close to Rosslare Strand, Tagoat and Our Lady’s Island. It has a quiet, community-oriented character, with open farmland and the coast nearby rather than a dense town-centre feel. Everyday services are limited within the village itself, so residents typically use Rosslare Harbour, Rosslare Strand and Wexford town for larger shops, schools and services. Rosslare Europort provides an important transport and employment connection, with ferry services to France and the United Kingdom and rail links towards Wexford and Dublin. Local social life centres on village and parish activities, while nearby pubs, cafés and restaurants in Rosslare Harbour and Rosslare Strand provide places to eat and meet. Families have access to primary education locally and a wider choice of secondary schools in Wexford and surrounding towns, generally reached by car or school transport. Memorial Park and the beaches, dunes and coastal walks around Rosslare Strand offer nearby outdoor recreation, while Europort Business Park adds local employment and commercial activity. The area suits people seeking a countryside setting with straightforward access to the port, beaches and Wexford town.
