County Wexford, Administrative division in southeastern Ireland
County Wexford encompasses 2,352 square kilometers of land, featuring golden beaches along the coast and the 794-meter Mount Leinster in the Blackstairs Mountains.
The territory, originally part of the Gaelic Kingdom of Hy Kinsella with its capital at Ferns, became a Viking settlement named Veisafjǫrðr before evolving into modern Wexford.
The Wexford Festival Opera, established in 1951, presents annual performances in autumn, contributing to the region's performing arts heritage and international recognition.
The county maintains six Blue Flag beaches, including Curracloe Beach, and offers direct ferry connections to Wales and France through Rosslare Europort.
The Irish National Heritage Park contains reconstructions spanning 9,000 years of Irish history, displaying ancient dwellings and archaeological artifacts from different periods.
