Bridgetown (Irish: Baile an Droichid)[2] is a small rural village, located sixteen kilometres from Wexford town on the R736 regional road.

[1] The local co-educational secondary school, Bridgetown College, draws students from southeast County Wexford.

This railway service ceased after the last train in September 2010[5] but the line remains maintained.

The village of Bridgetown has a supermarket/filling station, garage, post office, bookshop, cafe, take-away, pubs, hair salons, a tailor, an upholster, an interior design business, a doctors' surgery, pharmacy, a fish monger, and the nearby Ballycross Apple Farm.

[citation needed] An eighteen turbine wind farm, capable of producing 27MW and powering approximately 17,000 homes, was commissioned in Richfield, near Bridgetown in December 2006.
