- City Walks: Wexford, Ireland walking tour
After a lunch at the pub, we walk through the downtown area of the city of Wexford, Ireland in County Wexford. We start out in the pedestrian zone near Centenary Stores pub and make our way along the main street, past fishing boats moored at the waterfront, past the train station, and up to the ruins of an old abbey. We are loving Ireland and haven't even been to Dublin yet. The country is incredibly friendly and beautiful. The rural rolling pastoral hills are stunning in early September.
Next up will be Dublin!
Dublin was wonderful
Married a Wexford girl in 1964 , best day of my life .Walked those streets so many times .Thank you for the video.
What a wonderful sentiment! Thanks so much for sharing that. We loved our time in the area. -H
Aww what a beautiful and relaxing walk , with a,cup of coffee and my big chair, after a hard day's work.
I couldn't ask for a better review. Thanks for watching and letting us know. -Henry
Such a long time since I was home. Thanks for the video. :)
You bet. We really loved Ireland and would go back in a heartbeat. Hope you make it back soon.
My late grandad Mathew meyler was from this beautiful town of Wexford ❤️
Very cool. Thanks for sharing -H
Best town in Ireland 🟣🟡
A wonderful place.
Couldn't agree more! -H
Wexford is a very great place to visit 💖
I very much agree. We had a wonderful month there. -H
Remember going here in 1997 when I was 12, my mum at the time was camcording everything and we had our whole holiday on film & it got stolen. Remember these streets well. 🤝
Oh no! What a frustrating thing to happen. Glad you had a good visit otherwise and glad this brought back some memories. Thanks so much for the comment. -H
Thanks for this! I'm Brazilian and I was in Wexford last september. It was amazing to remember about the streets, the restaurants and the stores. I just kept thinking how I miss this town! Hope to be back someday. And great work on the video!
Our pleasure! And thanks so much for the comment. -H
Thanks for the tour. It's a great town and would recommend it to everyone! Such friendly folks. Can't wait to return one day soon.
Agreed. Thanks so much for the great comment and for watching. - Henry
So nice this walk, Thank You! Last time I visited Wexford was 1 year ago and I wish, next time will be soon.
Glad you enjoyed it! We loved our time in Ireland. -H
Great town
Thanks Mick, -H
Thanks for taking us along! The streets were so tiny! Loved that you showed us the inside of the boats as you walked by. I always try craning my neck to see (like that would do any good). Keep on stepping!
Thanks for watching -Henry
I was thinking of going to Wexford one day I had no idea what it looked like but it seems great.
It's a great little town. The music was fun and it's right on the water. Also there's a cool neolithic museum with various buildings recreated. Very cool -Henry
It's actually really nice. Nice Places and Shops.
Yeah!
Amazing experience thanks for upload
Abdul ghafoor god you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment. -Henry
Thanks for this. Still deciding where to go from Dublin in August, away from the crowds.
Thanks -H
The video ends at West Gate. The western gate into the walled town of Wexford. Built around 850AD, only small sections of the wall survive. Selskar Abbey is built within the walls and predates the reformation. Half of the land walked on during this video was reclaimed from the sea, so Selskar Abbey is located just yards from where the shore once was.
Love this. Thanks for this added information. It makes me happy to remember the places you are referring to. -H
Wexford is looking good on this video.
Thanks for the comment. We really enjoyed our time in the area. -Henry
John Fitzgerald Kennedy gave a speech from the train station that you walked past on July 19th 1963.….
Very cool. -H
Attractive town. How long did you stay? Did your impressions of the place change during the time of your stay? Thanks for the vid.
Hi Todd, we stayed just outside town for about a month. We loved it. It was a great base for traveling around Ireland and the people were wonderful. Thanks.
Imagine if he met Maggie hurley
Thanks for the comment. I just googled here. I wish I'd known about her and gotten a chance to see her. -Henry
@@CityWalks if u were here again and she was on the street u would spot her by singing or talking
@@historyproductions6154 Thanks.
My mom and my brother like walked right passed you lol
No way! Too funny. Great city in a great country. Thanks or the comment! -H
SUPER
Thanks so much. -Henry
The pub that you walked past at 9:15 burned down on Sunday morning...
Oh no! So sorry to hear that. I hope no one was hurt. Thanks for telling me. -H
@@CityWalks no injuries or deaths
What? I didn't hear Maggie Hurley croonin' "I'm nobody's child".
😀
LOL MY DAD AND mom is it in haha and my brother
That's awesome! Must be weird to have seen them. Such a fun town. -H
Brilliant, I've walked those streets many times. I wonder did you make it to Curracloe Beach whilst you were there? (Btw Wexford is a town not a city :) )
Thanks for the clarification. I'm never quite sure with all the different systems in different places. Unfortunately we did not. We did get to the Heritage Museum which we all loved and saw some lovely music. -Henry
@@CityWalks Ahh, you'll have to go back someday then :) Curracloe is beautiful, sand like salt and has a forest behind it. You may already know, the (harrowing) Omaha Beach landing scene in the film Saving Private Ryan was filmed there.
@@sarahfox3959 I didn't know that and now I'll definitely have to come back. Thanks! -H
Just started. Needed work, but look at my first vlog and give me your opinion please, need some work on editing but used my phone for that, thanks
Hi Mick, Looks great. Enjoyed the talking. My only comments would be to work on keeping the camera and then during the early part the music was so loud I couldn't hear your voice. Great work and I look forward to following along. -H
@@CityWalks I noticed that, used my phone to edit, growing pains, will keep trying, thanks for your comments. I will doing wexford town today, might be a 2 parter. Cheers, Mick
@Celtic Mick Walks Nice. Growing pains never go away. It's how we know we are getting better😀. The comments were, of course, meant to be helpful. Glad you are setting out on a new project and adventure and I look forward to seeing more! Cheers. -H
Home of my Dempsey Ancestors
Nice. - H
unwritten comments: "Derz me anty margarish!"
Thanks
I Live here
Awesome. We loved our time there. -H
Why don't people who do these tours say something about what we're seeing....?
Hi Dorian, some do, some don't. My more recent videos have almost too much talking and I often get comments complaining that I DO talk. Maybe check out some of the more recent videos, or, maybe start making some the way you'd like them to be. All the best and thanks for watching. -H
