Ferrycarrig, Wexford

Irish National Heritage Park

Primary Schools Our guided tours for primary schools are both educational and fun. Beginning in the Stone Age, our 90 minute tour brings children on a journey through Irelands past, as they wander through Prehistoric settlements, monuments and burial places, and up to the introduction of writing and Christianity. Bringing to life what students have learned in the classroom they learn about farming in medieval Ireland and the invention of the worlds first automatic machine for grinding wheat into flour. The tour finishes with the arrival of the Vikings and Anglo-Normans. Some of the children might even discover that they are Vikings at the end of the tour! Prices start at 7. Additional experiences available contact us at The Irish National Heritage Park for more details. Secondary Schools Secondary school tours cover Early Christian Ireland and Medieval Life, which are part of the current curriculum. All tours refer to archaeology, excavations, and primary sources, showing how they are used to learn about the past. The park is an outdoor museum, as well as a heritage park. Almost all sites from Prehistoric Ireland to the Anglo-Norman period are reconstructions, though there is one actual archaeological site in the park, which has been thoroughly excavated. It is the site of the first Anglo-Norman fortification in Ireland. Prices start at 8. Teachers/SNA complimentary.
