About Our Lady's Island
Our Lady’s Island is a small rural village and lakeside settlement in south County Wexford, close to the coast and within easy reach of Rosslare, Wexford town and the villages of Tagoat, Kilrane and Killinick. It is best known for Our Lady’s Island Lake, a scenic lagoon and internationally important wetland supporting birdlife, with the village and pilgrimage church forming a distinctive local landmark. The area has a peaceful, close-knit countryside character, with detached homes, farmland and holiday properties around the lake and nearby coastline. Everyday schooling is centred on local primary schools, while secondary pupils generally travel to schools in Rosslare, Wexford or other nearby towns. Shopping and services are limited within the village, so residents typically use Tagoat, Kilrane, Rosslare or Wexford for supermarkets, healthcare and larger errands. Local social life includes village pubs and community activities, while beaches, coastal walks and the wider Hook Peninsula provide plenty of outdoor recreation. Road transport is the main option, with the N25 and regional roads giving access to Rosslare Europort, Wexford town and Waterford; public bus services are available but relatively limited compared with urban areas.
