A town steeped in history ranging from the legends of the Fianna through early Christian saints, Norman influences, Cromwellian settlement, rebellion and emigration to modern Ireland. The town is strategically located between Waterford City, Wexford Town and Kilkenny City.
The town was founded in the 13th century by William Marshal Earl of Pembroke and his wife Isabel de Clare, daughter of Strongbow. Marshal is known in history as” The Greatest Knight”. The medieval port of New Ross was, for a time, the busiest port in Ireland. New Ross is a walled town with many historical structures most notably the imposing St. Mary’s Church built by William and Isabel perched above the town overlooking the river Barrow and the iconic Tholsel or town hall in the heart of the town.
