Things To Do In New Ross

Finally, in our series of informative blogs regarding the tourist destinations surrounding The Rhu Glenn Country Club Hotel, we would like to discuss the bustling city of New Ross, which is just 10 minutes from our hotel.

New Ross
This scenic city dates back as far as the year 1189. This city was built, as its founders Isabella, daughter of Strongbow and her husband William, Earl Marshall of England built a fortress and a bridge on the banks of the river barrow, which lead to the establishment of the town.
New Ross maintained its popularity with visitors over many years due to a variety of reasons, such as its scenic views and walks, its rich history and its differentiated activities to suit all interests. One of the most popular attractions in New Ross is The Dumbrody Famine ship. This is the originally restored ship that sailed Irish passengers to America during the Great Irish Famine. This ship allows patrons to experience their Irish emigrant experience first-hand through a guided tour of the ship which is not only educational but enjoyable for all ages. Each customer is given a unique ticket which allows them to assume the role of an individual who was on the Dumbrody Famine Ship.
Hook Lighthouse is a great trip for all families and individuals, especially on a sunny day as Hook Lighthouse hosts some of the most picturesque views of the sea and landscape. There is also a playground to please the kids! Lunch is served here for an agreeable price and consumers can avail of a stunning walk along the shore. On your way to Hook Lighthouse, you pass the new refurbished Loftus Hall, which is known as Irelands most haunted building. This is an exciting and unique attraction; this attraction boasts cycling tours around Hook Lighthouse, lunch, a house tour and much more!
New Ross boats an impressive collection of fantastic restaurants, however one of the most impressive and unique restaurants would have to be The Gallery River Cruising Restaurant.
