Cahore Beach and Cliff Walk
Cahore Beach and Cliff, situated on the northeastern coast of County Wexford, Ireland, offer a picturesque walking experience that combines coastal beauty with rich biodiversity. The walk begins near Cahore Pier, a focal point of the quaint fishing village of Cahore, located approximately 2 kilometres from Ballygarrett Village.
As you set out from near the pier, the well-maintained coastal path provides stunning views of the Irish Sea. The trail is approximately 2.8 kilometres out and back, making it suitable for walkers of various abilities.
The cliffs are adorned with a variety of wildflowers, including sea rocket, frosted orache, and sea sandwort, which add vibrant colours to the landscape. The area is also home to diverse fauna; seabirds such as gulls and terns are commonly seen, and the coastal waters may reveal glimpses of marine life.
To the south there's also Curracloe's attractive pine woodlands to explore on the Curracloe Beach and Forest Walk.
