About Oilgate
Oilgate is a small village in north County Wexford, on the River Slaney and the N11 corridor between Wexford town and Enniscorthy. It has a quiet, rural-residential character, with surrounding farmland and easy access to larger towns for shopping, employment and services. Day-to-day life is community-focused and car-dependent, although the village benefits from its position on a principal regional route. Local schooling is centred on nearby primary schools, while secondary schools and further education are available in Wexford and Enniscorthy. The village has local convenience shopping and hospitality, including traditional pubs and places to eat, with a broader choice in Enniscorthy and Wexford. Outdoor activities include walking and fishing around the Slaney valley, while nearby amenities include sports clubs, playgrounds and the facilities of the larger towns. Commuters can use the N11 by car, with bus services linking the area to Wexford and Enniscorthy; rail connections are available from Enniscorthy and Wexford stations. Oilgate is also well placed for exploring the county’s beaches, heritage sites and countryside, including nearby Vinegar Hill and the wider Slaney landscape.
