Rosslare (Ros Láir in Irish, meaning "the middle peninsula"), is a village in County Wexford. Rosslare has been a tourist resort for at least 100 years. It prides itself on being the sunniest spot in Ireland, and records bear this out: Rosslare receives 300 hours more sunshine each year than the average place in Ireland. The long sandy strand is a Blue Flag Beach so it attracts swimmers and families, while there are a number of good golf courses in the vicinity. A long sandspit stretching north from Rosslare separates Wexford Harbour from the Irish Sea. Until the early 1920s, this spit stretched for many miles north, almost touching the Raven Point and giving a very narrow mouth to Wexford Harbour. At the end of the spit was a small fort called Rosslare Fort. In the winter of 1924-25 a storm breached the spit and it was gradually washed away. The fort was abandoned and now all that is left is an island at low tide.
The coastal town of Fishguard in Pembrokeshire, South Wales is a small market town divided into the harbour side at Goodwick, the main town and Lower Fishguard. Fishguard ferries dock at the harbour in Goodwick and connect with the Irish port of Rosslare, a link that has been in place for more than 100 years. The ferry port itself is run by Stena Line. If you're passing through then be sure to visit the Last Invasion Tapestry, which has been compared to the Bayeux Tapestry, at Fishguard Town Hall. The tapestry is 30 metres long and 53 centre metres deep and took four years to complete by seventy-seven local people.
