Tomhaggard Neighbourhood Guide
Wexford
About Tomhaggard
Tomhaggard is a small rural village in south County Wexford, positioned between the larger settlements of Bridgetown and Rosslare and close to the coast, beaches and lakes around Kilmore Quay and Our Lady’s Island. It has a peaceful, close-knit countryside character, with homes set among farmland and a strong connection to the surrounding parish communities. Day-to-day life is village-based rather than urban, so residents generally travel to Bridgetown, Wexford town or New Ross for broader shopping, services and employment. Local education is centred on Tomhaggard and nearby primary schools, while secondary-school choices are available in Bridgetown, Wexford and surrounding towns. Road transport is the main option, with access to the R739 and regional roads linking the village with Bridgetown, Rosslare, Wexford and the Hook Peninsula; regular commuting is typically car-based, although Bus Éireann services operate in the wider south Wexford area. The village and neighbouring parishes provide community amenities, churches, sports facilities and local pubs, while cafés, supermarkets and larger retail offerings are found in Bridgetown, Rosslare and Wexford. Coastal walks, beaches and birdlife at places such as Our Lady’s Island, Kilmore Quay and Tacumshane add to the area’s appeal for outdoor-minded residents. Tomhaggard is particularly suited to people seeking a quieter rural setting within reach of Wexford town, Rosslare Europort and the south Wexford coastline.
