Cullenstown is a townland and small village located on the south coast of County Wexford. A small beach, Cullenstown Strand, is located nearby.[1] It is about fifteen miles by road from Wexford town.
Cullenstown is home to the "shell cottage" (also known as "cliff cottage"), a 19th century thatched farmhouse which was decorated with shells by Kevin Ffrench.[2] The house took over 30 years to decorate.[3]
The area also contains a Gaelic handball alley,[4] a pub, and a number of holiday homes.
