WHERE IS WEXFORD?

The Slaney Language Centre is located just outside Wexford town in a castle overlooking the beautiful river Slaney and the Blackstairs Mountains. This is a quiet and scenic location - ideal for study.

Wexford got its name from the Vikings, and was further developed by the invading Normans in 1169. Once a walled town, Wexford retains something of its medieval early character, with lots of interesting narrow streets and laneways, and a long attractive quayside. But today Wexford is truly cosmopolitan, with an eclectic variety of independent shops, craftspeople, hotels, gourmet restaurants and artisan food producers. It is one of the most popular Irish destinations for Irish tourists and increasingly for foreign visitors too: the long beaches, the moderate climate (this is, after all the sunny South East), the opera and culture festival, being just a few of many attractions. Amenities in the town centre include numerous pubs for every taste (traditional and modern, lively and quiet), cafes, restaurants, shops, cinema, theatre, churches, Internet cafes, Library, Racecourse, GAA stadium (Irish Sports), galleries, Arts Centre (good place for live entertainment, exhibitions, film and acting), Opera House, Heritage Centre, Selskar Abbey, swimming pool, bowling alley, tennis club, film club, hill walking club, fitness studio, tourist information centre. Live music events run throughout the year.
