The Coastal Route is the easiest route. It includes the internationally important Wildfowl Reserve of the Wexford Slobs and passes some fantastic beaches as far as Blackwater, returning to Wexford by Cooney’s Crossroads. Around the village of Blackwater there is a series of short but steep hills and from Cooney’s Crossroads it is mostly downhill into Wexford. Care is required on and crossing the R741 and on the R742 as well as at many of the junctions on both.
