The pretty little fishing village of Ballyhack is located on the south-east coast of Ireland in County Wexford, on the eastern shore 8 miles from Waterford Harbour where the Three Sisters River forms a large estuary (the Three Sisters being the combined rivers of Barrow, Nore and Suir). There is also a ferry terminal in Ballyhack.

Ballyhack harbour gives great shelter from winds, shallow boats are suitable for inside the harbour as can be seen from this beautiful print, while larger boats can safely anchor outside the harbour. The size of the estuary allows safe access at any time and during all tides.

The headquarters of the Knights Hospitallers of St John was established in Ballyhack in the 12th century and on the same site they built the Ballyhack Castle, a Norman castle, c1450. The castle is steeped in history and is open to visitors where you can view the dungeon, murder-hole, effigies and oratory.

 

Irish art inspired, crafted and made in Ireland.
