Summer Outing

The annual Summer Outing this year is to Johnstown Castle & Duncannon Fort, Co. Wexford on Saturday 11th July 2020

Johnstown Castle Estate, Museum & Gardens has a long and colourful story stretching over 800 years. Situated outside Wexford town in Ireland’s south east, it is not only a significant property of national importance but a place of great romantic charm and tranquility. The spectacular lake walks, walled gardens and sculptures all offer the beautiful setting for the great 19th-century castle.

Duncannon Fort is an impressive presentation of a fortress perched on the side of the stunning Hook Peninsula, County Wexford. This historic structure has gathered countless intriguing and awe inspiring stories over its 450 year history and holds one of the best vantage points to take in the beautiful Waterford Estuary from.

  Cost: €60.00 to include Tea/Coffee break and Dinner in Whitfield House Hotel, Wexford.

To book a place contact Brendan McGovern on 086-2734200.
