Bannow Bay Viewing Point

Highlight • Other

Stop to admire the landscape and observe the seabirds that inhabit this famous ornithological site. The information board on site indicates the ecological value of this tidal area. It is an important bird sanctuary where barnacle geese from Iceland land annually. With a little luck, you can also spot otters in the brackish water from the picnic table.

View of Clonmines

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ruins of the ancient monastic town of Clonmines*, founded in the 12th century, derived most of the abbey's wealth from the exploitation of lead and silver mines until the mid-19th century. Along the road leading to Wellington Bridge, ivy has invaded the old brick chimney of the last mine.

Cullenstown Windmill

Highlight • Other

The ruin of the Cullenstown windmill stands as an ivy-clad tower above the open coastal landscape. Once it ground grain for the surrounding farms, now it forms a silent reminder of Wexford's agricultural past. Its weathered stones and green mantle give the village a characteristic silhouette that is recognizable from afar.

Metal Artwork near Duncormick
Small group of welded metal figures – including a dog – along the R736, just past the Castle Site and on the hill. A piece of local folk-art, visible from the road and a playful marker in the open landscape towards Wellingtonbridge.

Mural of a Medieval Warrior

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of the village of Carrig-on-Bannow, you will be surprised by an impressive tribute to Irish history: the mural "The Norman". This artwork on the side wall of the Community Centre was created in 2020 by artist Magda Karol as part of the Walls Project. It forms a visual bridge to the year 1169, when the first Normans set foot on land in the nearby Bannow Bay—an event that would forever change the fate of Ireland. The mural is officially part of the 'Norman Way' and invites you to slow down and reflect on the deep historical roots of this tranquil landscape.

Laurel & Hardy

Highlight • Other

In a garden along the route, Laurel and Hardy sit like two silent, comical guardians on wooden blocks. The statues, with their recognizable bowler hats and black suits, immediately bring to life the charm of the classic slapstick duo. Amidst the greenery and the low stone wall, they form an unexpectedly playful moment in the landscape — a place where you can't help but smile and perhaps even take a photo before cycling on.
