Enniscorthy, on the River Slaney in County Wexford, is best known as the stronghold of the 1798 Rebellion — Vinegar Hill, where rebels made their headquarters and last stand, sits just east of town. Enniscorthy Castle and the cathedral of the Diocese of Ferns add to the historical record, while the Blackstairs Mountains and Curracloe beach lie within easy reach. The town has a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size.
