New Ross Port is Ireland's only inland port, situated approximately 32 kilometers from the sea on the tidal River Barrow in County Wexford. This unique location functions as both a commercial shipping port and a leisure marina, creating a mixed-use environment for anglers. The port and its surrounding river sections are characterized by deep, navigable channels that support significant vessel traffic, including ships with drafts up to 6.5 meters during spring tides. The waterway is tidal this far inland, with depths varying between high and low water. The area is noted for its estuarine environment, where freshwater from the River Barrow mixes with the incoming saltwater tide, creating a habitat that supports a variety of fish species.
