New Ross

Highlight • Settlement

New Ross, a charming town on the River Barrow, exudes history and character. Located in County Wexford, it offers a captivating blend of maritime heritage, cultural significance, and natural beauty. With its medieval roots, New Ross was once a bustling trading center, and that rich history is still palpable in its streets and buildings today.

One of the most striking attractions is the impressive Dunbrody Famine Ship, a lifelike replica of a 19th-century emigration vessel. The ship tells the poignant story of thousands of Irish who left their homeland during the Great Famine in search of a better life in America. This emigration history is further enhanced by its connection to the Kennedy family: the ancestors of President John F. Kennedy came from the region, and the Kennedy Homestead Museum brings their story to life.

The town itself is brimming with local charm, with cozy pubs, live music, and markets where you can experience Irish hospitality in all its glory. New Ross is not a tourist hotspot in the classic sense, but that is precisely what makes it so attractive: authentic, accessible and steeped in stories.
