Vinegar Hill Battlefield
Perched on a hill overlooking Enniscorthy town, the Vinegar Hill Battlefield is a scenic and poignant site.
About Vinegar Hill
The Battle of Vinegar Hill occurred during the Irish Rebellion of 1798 on 21 June 1798. On this day, over 15,000 Crown Forces soldiers launched an attack on the rebel camp at Vinegar Hill in Enniscorthy. It marked a turning point in the rebellion, as it was the last attempt by the rebels to hold and defend ground against the Crown Forces.
Visit Vinegar Hill
Vinegar Hill has free car parking and easy walking paths to the ruined windmill at the top of the hill. Guided tours are offered for groups through Enniscorthy Castle or the National 1798 Rebellion Centre.
