Huddled near the River Barrow, New Ross is an ancients town with roots dating back to the 6th century, coming under the spotlight during the Anglo-Norman conquest in the 13th century. The town sprouted around a bridge built by William Marshal, establishing itself as a key port under the Royal Charter of 1207. New Ross demonstrated its resilient spirit during the tumultuous Irish Confederate Wars and the rebellion of 1798.

Today, the town, fourth largest in the county, is known for a variety of educational institutions providing primary and secondary education. Sports enthusiasts find a home here with a plethora of sports organisations, ranging from triathlon, rugby, to archery, while the arts scene is alive and vibrant, thanks to St Michael's Theatre, the Ros Tapestry Project, the Emigrant flame, and the replica of the Dunbrody famine ship.

When to visit New Ross

The allure of New Ross is evergreen, but the best time to experience its captivating charm is from May to September, when the weather is warm and welcoming, with temperatures nestling around 19.4°C. This period sees the least humidity, making it ideal for exploring the town's rich offerings.

The chances of encountering rain or snow recede significantly in late September, ensuring an uninterrupted journey through time and tales of New Ross.
