Visit Vinegar Hill

Vinegar Hill, overlooking Enniscorthy town and the River Slaney, not only boasts amazing views over the countryside, but is also the site of the bloodiest battle of the 1798 Rebellion. Steeped in history and natural beauty, this is a spot not to be missed.

The carpark brings you right to the base of Vinegar Hill, but the lane is not suitable for coaches. A paved walkway leads to the top of the hill and is wheelchair accessible. Vinegar Hill is free and open to the public 7 days per week.
