The River Barrow marks not just a change in landscape, but a charming moment of travel that feels like stepping into a slower, older rhythm of Ireland. Boarding the ferry across the River Barrow, you’ll enjoy a brief but scenic crossing that links County Wexford with County Waterford—two regions rich in heritage and natural beauty.
The Barrow is one of Ireland’s Three Sisters rivers and has served as a key trade and transport route for centuries. As you float across its calm waters, take a moment to enjoy the views of quiet inlets, riverbanks dotted with wildlife, and the occasional fishing boat going about its business. It’s a simple pleasure, but one that connects you to the flow of Irish life, both past and present.
This short ferry ride isn’t just a way to get from A to B—it’s an experience in itself. A little pause on the journey, a chance to breathe, and a reminder that sometimes the best memories come from the moments in between. As you disembark, you’ll find yourself on the doorstep of Waterford—the oldest city in Ireland, and the next chapter in your adventure.
