Local Essentials
The practical stuff most travel sites skip. Everything you need to know before visiting Wexford Town, from parking to pharmacies.
Accessibility
Main Street is largely flat but narrow in places with old-town paving; the harbourfront quays are level and easier for wheelchair users. Wexford River Cruise is explicitly not wheelchair accessible due to tidal boarding conditions.
