Irish National Heritage Park

Just a short 10 minute drive from Newtown Park Hotel, Wexford, the Irish National Heritage Park offers a one-of-a-kind journey through over 9,000 years of Irish history.

Dive into Ireland’s Past at the Irish National Heritage Park

Set within 35 acres of picturesque woodlands overlooking the River Slaney estuary, the Irish National Heritage Park brings Ireland’s past to life with 16 reconstructed historic sites. From the ancient Dolmen and Fulacht Fiadh to the iconic Crannóg and a full-scale Viking ship, you’ll uncover how early Irish settlers lived, worked, and thrived. Choose from character-led tours that captivate visitors with stories and demonstrations, or explore at your own pace with a self-guided experience.

Enhance your visit with additional activities (not included in admission):

Birds of Prey: Visit the Falconry Centre on the historic Hill of Carraig and witness the incredible agility and precision of majestic birds like hawks, owls, and dazzling macaws. You’ll have the chance to fly a bird of prey and experience their ancient hunting skills firsthand. Suitable for all ages and group sizes.

Daily Life in the 10th Century: Step into the shoes of a Viking with this immersive, one-hour experience. Wear authentic Viking clothing and armor, strike your own Viking coin, and learn about their customs and traditions. End your journey with a visit to the Viking boatyard for the perfect photo opportunity.

After your adventure, relax at the visitor centre café, open daily from 9:30 AM. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, with picnic tables for those who prefer to bring their own snacks. Whether you’re visiting for a day of family fun or simply to soak in Ireland’s stunning natural beauty, the Irish National Heritage Park is a destination you won’t want to miss.
