Rosslare Neighbourhood Guide

Wexford

About Rosslare

Rosslare is a coastal village and important ferry gateway in County Wexford, on the south-east coast near Kilrane, Tagoat and Rosslare Strand. It has a relaxed, seaside character, with a mix of established homes, holiday accommodation, agricultural land and businesses serving visitors and ferry passengers. Daily life is generally quieter than in Wexford town, although the area becomes livelier during the summer and holiday periods. Rosslare Europort provides regular ferry connections to Britain and continental Europe, while the N25 gives road access towards Wexford town and the wider south-east. Local services include convenience shopping, cafés, pubs and places to eat, with a broader choice available in Wexford town. Families have access to nearby primary-school provision and secondary schools in Wexford, with school transport an important consideration for some households. The coast, beaches and walking routes are central to the area’s appeal, alongside leisure facilities and holiday parks such as Central Holiday Park Rosslare. Rosslare Strand, the local golf and beach destination, is close by, while landmarks including Rosslare Europort make the locality particularly well connected for travel.
