Kenn & Helen · a day out in South Wexford
11:30
Lie-ins are allowed on anniversaries. Out the door by half eleven for the short spin into New Ross.
12:00
52 South Street. Award-winning, seasonal and local, and lovely for the day that is in it. Lunch is served from 12:00 to 2:30 and daytime tables are walk-in only, so arrive on the dot of noon.
Walk-in only · be at the door for 12:00
2:15
After lunch, down through Wellingtonbridge to the Hook side. The Colclough Walled Garden first, then the abbey, the woodland trails, and an anniversary photograph or two.
Open until 5:30 today · garden has its own small entry fee
4:15
Leave the abbey by a quarter past four to be home for about a quarter to five, with a comfortable margin before the half past five commitment.
The Dunbrody Famine Ship in New Ross keeps the day going indoors, open 9:00 to 6:00.
Fancy something gentler instead? The JFK Arboretum and the Slievecoiltia viewpoint are only minutes away, open late through August.
