This trail leads the walker along part of the route traversed by the Wexfordmen/Pikemen during the 1798 Rebellion and passes alongside historical and archaeological landmarks, a number of which are listed monuments. There is a mixture of terrains such as country roads, pedestrian footpaths, forestry roads and wooded and open pathways. There are panoramic hilltop views across Wexford, the Wexford coastline and neighbouring Counties. The natural vegetation such as heather and furze along the route also provides an added attraction.

Hi John, great to hear that you walked the full length of the Three Rocks Trail. We would love more information on any issue of signage on the trail that could be improved on.

Got a taxi to Skeater head car park and started from there. The last section is on road to Barntown and Ferrycarrig
Not that well signposted tbh.
