January 15th - Rosslare Harbor, Co. Wexford - SEPA PAINT OUT

Rosslare Harbor : - Home website listing History, Things to do, Places of interest , etc.................

SEPA's first Paint out of 2012, brought us to the Southeast Corner of Ireland, Rosslare Harbor. Best known for the Harbor itself, "Rosslare Europort". It is easy to forget, that it also has a beautiful beach and coastal path, with striking views of the South East Coast. 

The coastal path has changed a little over the past few years due to coastal Erosion, but it can be easily followed, with a short diversion into the village.

Painting options : -

Some of the best painting locations, are hidden gems, usually unexpected, resulting from either getting lost, or just taking the roads less traveled.The following are only suggestions to get you started.
