Johnstown Castle, Estate, Museum & Gardens
Review
Johnstown Castle, Estate, Museum & Gardens is without doubt one of Ireland’s brightest jewels and now, thanks to the leadership of General Manager Matt Wheeler, it’s shining brighter than ever. I endorsed this Wexford gem in a previous edition of my Top 100 Attractions on the Island of Ireland book, and upon returning, I was amazed at just how much it has evolved. A state-of-the-art visitor centre now welcomes guests to a world of history, beauty, and discovery. From enchanting lakes and landscaped gardens to the ever-popular Irish Agricultural Museum and the newly available castle tours, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The whole experience is elevated by the friendly and knowledgeable team, who go above and beyond to ensure every visit is memorable. With a fantastic café serving quality food and a gift shop packed with treasures, Johnstown Castle has firmly secured its place as one of Ireland’s top attractions.

Nearby Iconic
Mary Barrys Bar & Restaurant
Mary Barry’s Seafood Bar & Restaurant, on the outskirts of Kilmore Quay, is a pub and dining destination I was genuinely delighted to return to after first endorsing it nine years ago. Expectations were high, but what Susie Doyle and her husband Alec have achieved here is exceptional. In my opinion, Mary Barry’s is now the finest pub in Co. Wexford, and fully deserving of our rare Iconic Status.
Lobster Pot

A true constant for many years, its reputation has been built not on fuss, but on superb food, genuine hospitality and a standard that never seems to slip. New owner Paul Behan clearly understands the responsibility of looking after such a celebrated name, and he does
