Activities, reconstructions, workshops and courses are aimed at visitors of all ages. The offering combines the sites with various ways to explore the park in greater depth.
Hook Lighthouse is located at the tip of the Hook Peninsula in County Wexford. Guided tours tell the story of 800 years of lighthouse history. If you plan to take a tour, check the current booking conditions in advance.
The Dunbrody Famine Ship in New Ross is an authentic reproduction of an emigrant ship from the 1840s. The Dunbrody experience includes a guided tour, costumed performers and themed exhibitions. This gives it a different focus from the Irish National Heritage Park: here, the story of an emigrant ship takes centre stage.
Tintern Cistercian Abbey was founded around 1200 by William, Earl Marshal. It is located in a special conservation area and is surrounded by woodland with walking trails. The site thus combines a historical theme with the described woodland landscape and trails in County Wexford.
