Byrne and Byrne Ltd based in Bunclody, Co. Wexford have been building high quality homes for the past 40 years, Also during this time the company has constructed some high profile Public buildings: Schools, Libraries, etc along with many commercial projects . Down through the years the company has gained a reputation for understanding the needs of the modern homebuyer, offering a professional, customer focused service, using best practice methods to create homes with superb finishes right down to the finest details.

Clody Lodge is a ten bedroom boutique accomodation in the Main Street of Bunclody, Co Wexford. The accommodation is over three floors of a new building and it’s original ‘shop front’ facade. The three floors are all serviced by a lift and there is a specially designed disabled bedroom and facilities.

Clody Lodge faces the Mall, which is a man made stream that was said to be built by the Maxwell Barry family in the 18th century, and the Clody River runs at the rear of the building, making Clody Lodge a truly unique location.

Bunclody Golf and Fishing Club – just across the river from Clody Lodge – is situated in 300 acres of breathtaking parkland of the former Hall – Dare Estate . For the non golfer it offers a short scenic walk from the town to the picturesque club house with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and Mount Leinster. An ideal place for breakfast, lunch or an odd pint of Guinness. The steaks are a speciality of the club house and are highly recommend.

This recently launched walk takes you through pine and beech forests up to the summit of Gibbet Hill.  A number of places on this hill you’ll notice some fine stone walls made out of flattish pieces of rock. In the eighteenth century there was a slate quarry on the hill.  In early May expect to see a carpet of bluebells, thriving quietly away beneath the beech trees.

Bunclody Town has a rich heritage and it was felt that this could be further promoted. It was also recognised that there is a need to provide in-door facilities so that visitors have things to do when the weather is inclement. Some suggestions included a historical Museum. This could possibly be located in one of the vacant buildings in the Town. This could include a photographic exhibition and artefacts representing Bunclody’s history. Reference was made to ‘Enniscorthy Castle’ and how successfully this has promoted Enniscorthy’s heritage. Another excellent example is the ‘St Conall’s Museum and Heritage Centre’ in a small village called Glenties, County Donegal. According to the Rough Guide of Ireland it is one of the best small-Town museums in the country and displays much material of local interest, focusing on wildlife, Donegal’s railways, antiquities, and the effects of the Great Famine. It also holds a Summer School in late July, attracting hundreds of people to its exhibitions, seminars and literary debates.

There are a wealth of historic houses
and gardens within close proximity to Bunclody including:

• Newtownbarry House
• Altamount Gardens
• Huntington Castle
• Borris Castle
• Lucy’s Wood Garden
• Tombrick Gardens

These gardens are members of either the Wexford or Carlow Garden Trails that are widely publicised nationally through websites or in brochures. It was recognised that because Bunclody is located on the border between Co. Carlow and Co. Wexford, visitors are not always aware of the gardens in close proximity to the Town.

It was felt very important that all of these attractions should be jointly publicised to visitors who are staying in Bunclody or the neighboring area.

Horse riding:

The opportunity to do pony trekking in the mountains was considered and it was felt that current facilities are not well known. There is the Anvil Lodge Riding School based in Ballindaggan which is 11 km from Bunclody and it offers individual and group packages and it was felt that this could be promoted further.
