Irish National Heritage Park
The Irish National Heritage Park is an open-air museum near Wexford which tells the story of human settlement in Ireland from the Mesolithic period up to the Norman Invasion in 1169. It has 16 reconstructed dwellings including a Mesolithic camp, a Neolithic farmstead, a portal dolmen, a cyst grave, stone circle, medieval ringfort, monastic site, crannóg, and a Viking harbour. It opened in 1987 and is open to the public 363 days of the year. It covers 13.7 hectares of parkland, estuary trails, and wetland forest. It is a not for profit organisation and all its receipts from admissions, restaurant, and shop sales go directly back into the running and maintenance of the park.The park offers guided tours led by costumed guides, as well as audio guides or self guiding options. The guided tour lasts about one and a half hours and ends at the reconstructed Viking harbour. The park also contains a restaurant and a gift shop. The Trials of Tuan are a set of activities for children throughout the park, culminating in panning for gold.
