Welcome to Monageer Grotto

Welcome to Monageer Grotto just 9km from Enniscorthy in Co Wexford.

Spend some time in this peaceful place where you can enjoy the fully accessible sensory walk with wheelchair accessible picnic areas as well as a woodland walk where wildlife and fairies abound. A Marian shrine occupies a prominent position on the 3.5 acre site.
