Cahore Marsh is located on the coast of Wexford about 20 Kilometres south of Gorey. It is an important wetland area in winter that attracts large numbers of wildfowl, gulls and waders.
In summer there is less water and it is a haven for stonechats, meadow pipits, skylarks, warblers and many more. Cuckoos are common in late Spring and early summer.
