Exciting News for Walking Trails in Wexford
In May 2025, Minister Dara Calleary announced further investment in Ireland’s walking trails, including the latest expansion of the Walks Scheme.
As part of this expansion, 22 new trails across 10 counties have been added to the scheme. Wexford Local Development is delighted to share that four of these trails are located in County Wexford:
- Jean Kennedy Smith Trail, Oulart
- Ringwood Trail, Kilcarbry
- Rosslare Cliff Walk, Rosslare Harbour
- Urrin Loop, part of the River Walk in Enniscorthy
Minister Calleary of the Department of Rural and Community Development also announced €465,000 in funding for projects to support and enhance 49 trails already on the Walks Scheme.
We look forward to working closely with the local Trail Management Committees in the coming weeks and months to help integrate the Walks Scheme as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
We would also like to acknowledge and sincerely thank the local voluntary groups whose hard work and dedication have made these trails a reality. Their commitment reflects a strong community spirit and a shared vision of enhancing local areas for everyone to enjoy.
