Geocache Description:


In the 16th century a Dutch boat builder, named Kaats, came to Wexford town and set up a boat building yard somewhere near where Dunnes’ Stores now is. He launched his boats from a small strand opposite his yard. (If you drive out over Wexford bridge and pass the swimming pool, take a left after ferrybank motors, keeping the river slaney on your left, at the T junction take a left, you will come to a small cul de sac, park at the bollards) That strand is still called “Kaats Strand” even though many people when pronouncing it and spelling it use “cat” or “cats” as in “the cats’ strand” as opposed to the correct Dutch version of Kaats. It is a peaceful place, where you can take in Wexford Town from afar, also take note of the Wexfords old bridge (there are apartments built on part of it now), It was in use until the 1950s when it was replaced by the present Wexford Bridge. The other abutment at Carcur can be seen across the Slaney. beware of tide here, if you choose to go for a longer walk, high spring tides can cover the beach, nothing too serious, but you will get your feet wet Bring your own Pen
