Getting There:
Enniscorthy is 12 miles (19 km) north of Wexford town. The National
1798 Centre is the town's major sight and is well-signposted (follow the brown
Aras 98
Centre
signs).
Nearby:
Leaving the center, look east across the River Slaney, which divides Ennis-
corthy, and you'll see a hill with a stumpy tower on it. This is
Vinegar Hill.
The tower is
the old windmill that once flew the green rebel flag. Drive to the top for the views that the
rebels had of the surrounding British forces. The doomed rebels tried desperately to hold
the high ground, with no shelter from the merciless British artillery fire.
