So where is it? I have a few...

Edenvale - So beautiful down there! Lovely walk and even managed to spot a stoat/ferret like animal down by the river one day!

The Quarry Barntown - Just so beautiful and the view is amazing - Have many memories of up around it!

The Sand Bank in Wexford Harbour - I row with Ferrycarrig Rowing Club and during training for the Celtic Challenge we rowed out to it then ran the whole way across it and back... It was amazing!! So beautiful!

Ferrycarrig Castle - Its just so peaceful up there!

I'll prob be back with a few more!!

Ferrycarrig Park when there is no match on. Very peaceful just looking out over the immaculate pitch. That's where I go to think things out

Other than that, on the Slaney in a small boat between Ferrycarrig Bridge and Killurin

Jesus! Paddy Furlong's?????


My own favourite place would probably be Ballinesker. Memories of pure gold...

cool thread......i also love the quarry,
but i have to say the place i love the most is my dads garden, not a manufactured landscaped type garden just lots of big old trees and plenty of flowers, totally secluded. and a big oak with a swing, tis cool.
thats where i go to think.........have a smoke or just get away from everyone when im down home.

The woods around carrig river were pretty cool. I'm not sure about my favourite beach - spoilt for choice!

Head out Duncannon line from Wex, turn right at Mountain Bar. Up the hill through two crossroads and then take next right (at Bowen Construction site). Head down that road until you see Notice of Proposed Development on left - turn in there and quarry is on right

Hook Head - with a gale blowing. It sure clears the cobwebs if you feeling blue!

Tintern abbey and grounds.
Curracloe beach, when the crowds have gone home.
Duncannon fort-the walls almost speak their history.
Vinegar hill.

Three Rocks Monument on Forth Mountain - panoramic vioews from the Comeraghs to the Wicklow Mountains and of course the Blackstairs. Fantastic during the snow earlier this year !!

Sitting on Vinegar Hill on a warm day looking down on the town.

A stroll down by Raven Point with the herself and the son... up through the woods, back along the beach.

A stroll through Johnstown Castle.. just not at the moment because you have to pay to get in during the summer whereas the rest of the year it's free.

St. Helen's Bay for sunrise photos.

Hook Head for sunset photos.

Is that monument the one up on the hill on the right soon after passing the Ferrycarrig Hotel on way into Wexford?

No it's further on from Ferrycarrig than that (3rd exit off the New Ross roundabout, first left at the sign for Paul Moloney pottery, up the hill until you can't go any further and then right The one you've mentioned is the Crimean War Memorial which I think is accessed from the Heritage Park.

I was swimming in barntown quarry this evening. WOW! Amazing place, absolutely beautiful! The water was like a luke warm bath once you got into it.

JayEnnis

Sorry for the bad focus, was a friend using my camera.

How do you get to Edenvale? Is it a village or woods?

Coming from the Wexford road if you take the Crossabeg turn and then take a left at the pub and the next right a bit down the road. Follow this road for about a mile (Its pretty narrow with lots of turns) Until you get to a cross. Take a right at the cross and then on your left you should see a dirt lane. Follow that for about 10 minutes and it'll bring you to the top of Edenvale.

You'll see the lane around here

Ballymoney beach. Ballymoney's my home away from home. I think it's one of the loveliest little places in Ireland.

• Edenvale
• Hook Head
• Traynors Hardware on Lower John St, Wexford. (Because thats how a decent hardware shop should look, and sadly buildings and businesses like that are getting rarer and rarer.)

Anyone actually know what Bown Construction are building there? Some kind of water tank?
