Zozimus is a beautiful and brimful secondhand bookshop at the back of a vibrant and tasty cafe. The bookshop is larger than one may think and contains a considerably large amount of good stock. Of note are the various specialised Irish sections, which both contain the unusual and unexpected while managing to feel curated and not filled mercilessly with pitiful titles. Irish Crime Novels - now that’s a book section! John, the owner is exceptionally well versed in literature and a very personable and friendly owner, generous with his time and himself a man of letters with expertise and a publishing history in matters such as Flann O’Brien and localised poetry with great customer service and charming approach. Every time I visit - I find more gems. High Shelves and every nook has stock to consider. The rare and unusual sections deserve the title, while younger readers passing through seemed delighted that Harry Potter is stocked! For book lovers - this is a stop you need to make.

Visited this lovely gallery recently with my three young children. We were made feel very welcome by Anne-Marie who spent time showing art to my children. There is even a fairy door to the delight of my youngest. Wonderful selection of affordable art and picture framing service. Will definitely be visiting again soon .

Recently, Joe, Sammy and I went for a pleasant walk in Courtown Woods. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining. There were a few people about and we acknowledged them on our walk. We find it very relaxing and peaceful. The trees are lovely. I would recommend this place for all that visit as there’s a lot to see as there’s a hotel, a shop and the seafront nearby. There’s even crazy golf and a golf course nearby as well.

Wexford blessed with beaches. This is a gem. Parking can be difficult in the summer but once you get sorted and head for a jaunt all you worries disappear. Just a lovely place to go for a stroll - 2 separate beaches and so plenty to explore.

The first time we came in 2011, it was a hard place to find but then again, Game of Thrones was not such a hit back then. Since then we come each time just to see how it has changed. Now there are a lot of people walking the road and unless you are a local, you are not suppossed to drive thru but some idiot will always think it applies to everyone else and not them. 2 cars drove thru and one almost hit some walkers. The trees were there when my dad, born in 1891 was a kid in Ballymoney and this was a long Sunday outing for them and the grounds of Grace HIll. We have seen of the 10 doors carved from the trees that were hit by a horrid storm in 2015 and they are a wonderful way to remember the old, old trees - 350 yrs + Be respectful of the history of if you go. Offer to take pictures of families and watch their faces light up.
