Wilton Castle, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford

A closer look

A place with character.

Wilton looks the way people imagine an Irish castle: chimney stacks, turrets and parkland running down to the Boro river. It is let privately on a self catering basis, with ceremonies outdoors and the grounds to yourselves.

Enniscorthy is ten minutes away and Wexford town about 25, with the coast beyond. Dogs are welcome, which is not something most castles say.

Before you book
