Ballyhack is a small fishing village on the edge of the River Barrow and the Hook Head Peninsula, dotted with traditional fishermen's cottages, offering the visitor an insight into true Irish heritage. The village has a pub and shop, and is dominated by its historic 15th Century Crusader Castle. The area is an angler's delight with river and sea fishing available, and for the walker it is the starting point of the 48 mile Wexford Coastal Path walk, giving you chance to fully appreciate the area's stunning, rugged coastline. For a great day out, why not visit one of the numerous sandy beaches in the area or take the Passage East ferry from the village and visit Waterford City and the crystal workshop, New Ross with the famous Dunbrody Famine Ship and the JFK Trust, or Rosslare, the clifftop village? The Hook Peninsula is close by, home to the oldest lighthouse in Europe, and Loftus Hall, reputedly Ireland's most haunted house! With so many outdoor pursuits this area has to offer, Ballyhack has something to keep everyone occupied.

The owner gave us recommendations of places to visit and I think we covered almost all of them. The fantastic weather during our week really helped to make the holiday and enjoy the stunning scenery of Wexford and Waterford.
