if you're here between April to end July/mid August and love the sea and outdoors take the Saltee ferry over from Kilmore Quay in Wexford. The Atlantic puffin nests here. It's a rugged terrain so bring good shoes and a picnic.

Grocery shopping
Run by the local amish community on the Dunmore Road near the turn off for Woodstown. This is the nearest garage to the house. They also have a few basic food items and bake cakes and breads on site which are all good. Our favourite is the carrot cake.
