New Ross, Port town in County Wexford, Ireland.

The town developed from a 6th-century monastery settlement into a significant trading port by 1269, when protective walls were constructed on the hill.

The Dunbrody Famine Ship Experience presents exhibits about Irish emigration through a full-scale replica of a 19th-century sailing vessel.

The N25 road connects New Ross to major cities, while regular bus services operate routes to Dublin, Waterford, and regional destinations.
