About
A short self-guided loop connecting Wexford's two 19th-century 'Twin Churches', the Church of the Immaculate Conception on Rowe Street and the Church of the Assumption on Bride Street, both built with matching spires that are visible from across the town. The route also passes through the Bullring, the old market square where a Friday market still runs and where a contested episode of the 1649 Cromwellian siege is remembered, though historians disagree on exactly what happened there.
Highlights

- ✓The Bullring and its Friday market
Tips
- →Visit on a Friday to catch the Bullring Market running.
