My aunt is staying with me at the moment. We have just spent the last 4 days in Wexford, with some time spent at Malahide Estuary on the way home. We had a wonderful time, the weather was very cold with a wind that seemed to be blowing straight from Siberia. Days were usually dry with the odd snow shower. It was our 1st time in Co Wexford and we would recommend it for anyone who hasn't been.
