Southeast Ireland has all the coast can offer, from the incredibly fresh fish and quaint thatched-roofed cottages in tiny Kilmore Quay to the sandy beaches and sunshine in Ardmore, Duncannon, Dunmore East, and Wexford. The region is famous for its strawberries and oysters, whose aphrodisiacal powers may account for the gaggles of children who play on its shores. Round towers litter the countryside, most notably St. Canice’s in Kilkenny and the Rock of Cashel’s tower in Cashel. Inland, mesmerizing green fields and stunning mountain views provide an exciting contrast to the trad and rock that pump through the pubs of Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, and Wexford. The region is most easily seen by automobile and best experienced by bicycle, although buses and trains serve most cities and towns.
