Rebellion Tour

The Rebellion Route

Walk with me from the Bearna Baoil of the Three Bullet Gate in the footsteps of Kelly the Boy from Kilann and his Bantry men along the streets where the poorly equipped United Irishmen pressed their attack on the defending Crown Forces. We will stand where the attackers faced an artillery barrage of chain shot and musket fire armed only with pikes and blind courage.

Kennedy Footsteps Tour

Walk in The Footsteps of The Kennedy Family

JFK’s great grandfather Patrick Kennedy worked as a cooper (barrel maker) in Cherry’s Brewery, New Ross until he emigrated in 1848.
We follow the route of his daily commute to and from work along the same streets and past many of the same buildings. We tell the story of those streets, people and buildings spiced up with their stories and anecdotes.

William Marshal Route

Immerse yourself in the world of the Normans

An exciting tour honouring the legacy of William Marshal, the Greatest Knight. He had such an impact on the town of New Ross he deserves a tour purely dedicated to him and his devoted wife Isabel
The town and port of New Ross is testament to Marshal’s power and commercial acumen and was the biggest single undertaking of the Norman era in County Wexford.

Mural Artwork Tour

Mural Artwork Tour Funded by Project 2040 / Department of Rural and Community Development

New Ross Municipal District Council instituted a transformative project for the town in collaboration with the Walls Project. Top class artists from all over the world descended on New Ross. Each artist interpreted New Ross’s Norman history in their own fascinating style. There are now over 15 murals spread across the town. Myles brings you on a tour of these and explains the artist interpretation of each and the historical meaning attached to the murals. You can find a list of murals on the following blog:
