Duncannon Fort

Duncannon Fort is a star shaped fortress on an important promontory in Waterford Harbour. It was built in 1558 in the expectation of an attack on the area by the Spanish Armada. The Fort is surrounded by a 30 ft high dry moat and has one of the oldest lighthouses of its kind in Ireland. All the major buildings in the Fort surround a parade ground. A walk around the outer ramparts afford spectacular views across the estuary to Co. Waterford and down to Hook Head. Located at a lower level than the moat is the croppy boy cell. After the 1798 rebellion, prisoners were detained here pending transfer to Geneva Barracks for trial and sentencing. An added attraction from 2002 is the Maritime Museum which charts the maritime history of one of the most dangerous coastlines in Ireland, the Wexford coast.

Opening Hours:

I'm going to Ireland, Ennis, for 10 days in July. This is my first trip. I appreciate all the advice I've read so far. I am interested in currency. What are peoples thoughts on credit and debit card use verses converting U.S. dollars into Euros before leaving the U.S.?

Thanks,Steve

My boyfriend and I are planning an Ireland trip in August. We fly into Dublin and then drive to Cork, then to the Dingle Peninsula for a couple of days, to Galway , then back to Dublin... with stuff planned in between and in each destination. We are pretty nervous about the drive. Does anyone have any tips for first time drivers in Ireland?

Two years ago I took a driving vacation around the country, it started as 7 days, the final count was 16. After getting lost a few times I started asking peope on the street, this was one of the nicest parts of my trip, I made friends that I still stay in touch with, The best part of Ireland are the Irish! By all means take your GPS unit and download Ireland before you leave, Best advice don't just look at the scenery meet the Irish, they are great, I'm going in Sept, can't wait.

SoJo - you really should go to Dublin! We did have a bad driving experience but it was worth it. There is so much to see there. I hope you have a great time.

I loved your blog! This is the first time I have ever visited the trip planner website. Someone just told me about it the other day. What a wonderful first-time experience. Your blog entries were a delight. My husband and I are going to Ireland in August and I am very excited and was thrilled to read about your adventures. We will get our youngest child situated in his college dorm and take off a few days later...no children! Romance! Empty Nest! haha. We have rented a 2 bedroom condo for a week in County Clare (it is supposed to be nice and is at a golf resort; also the price was good because we got it through a travel club). Our plan is to rent a car and to see whatever sights we can in one week (but most of the time, we will return to our condo. At the end of the week, we fly out of Shannon over to Scotland for another 9 days. We have a cottage rented there in Callandar, Scotland. Any suggestions by anyone in regard to either country would be welcome. Your stories of Dublin made me a bit wary of venturing there in a rental car...would you advise against going? Sounds like there are so many other things to see and that sounded so stressful for you and your husband. Maybe we will stick closer to County Clare (that is the county with Cliffs of Moher, which has been my screensaver ever since I booked the trip!). At this point, I really haven't planned any specifics other than I've reserved the plane tickets and lodging. It sounds like I should get some maps and maybe plan a real itinerary? We have 2 in college and are watching the money, but of course want to enjoy our time, too. We are in our 40s and very physically fit (in other words, we like to walk and hike and want to do while we still can!). Our main objectives are just to take in the beautiful scenery and the culture. You say the people are friendly and that sounds delightful. Again, any suggestions (from anyone) are very welcome. We are from NC. THANKS.
