Guidebook for New Ross
Essentials
For all your shopping needs. This is where we do our day to day shopping. In our view it is generally more reasonably priced than the supermarket in Fethard on Sea. En route you can take a trip to Dollar Bay and/or Booley Bay. The views en route are stunning so let someone else drive if you can!

Sightseeing
The oldest operational lighthouse in the world. Tours of the lighthouse every 30 minutes. Excellent cafe for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea. Amazing views from the cafe, great walks around the lighthouse. Fabulous whatever the weather, even on a stormy day. Do the circular walk from the lighthouse to Slade Harbour, and then back along the road to the lighthouse, takes about 1 hour (not wheelchair accessible as there are stiles to cross).
