Both Gorey and Courtown are situated in the county of Wexford along with the other major towns of this area, Enniscorthy, New Ross and Wexford town itself.
During the summer there are festivals on in a lot of the towns and villages of Wexford. There is always something happening and we do our best to coincide our excursions with special activities which might be going on in the area.
