Hollyfort Village

Hollyfort (Irish: Ráth an Chuilinn, meaning "ringfort of the holly") is a village in north County Wexford, Ireland. It lies within the townland of Mangan (Irish: an Mongán, meaning "the little swamp") in the valley of the River Bann, 5 km northwest of Gorey.

Historically it was called Rahincullin, which is an anglicisation of its Irish name.

Facelift for Old School

 

In preparation for the 200 year anniversary of Hollyfort's Old School, the Tidy Towns have power-washed the stone building.

What a difference that has made!

We have also planted three large trees in the grounds to replace those which had to be cut down a few years ago.



Work continues on Mt Nebo Trail

 

Work continues on our accredited Mt Nebo Trail with the insertion of a large, possibly granite, boulder at the second entrance to Mt Nebo Trail.

This is to protect the walk from Quads and dumping of household waste and litter yet allows walkers ease of access to join the main trail.
