Town & Rivers of Enniscorthy

      Enniscorthy is the 2nd largest town in County Wexford in Ireland, and is where Clonegal Castle, the Fellowship of Isis Foundation Center, was built. The population of Enniscorthy is approximately 8,964, and it sits on the tidal extreme of the River Slaney. The name Enniscorthy is from an English mispronounciation for the Irish words: "Inis Córthaidh." Inis Córthaidh means "Córthaidh's Island."

      "Clonegal Castle lies on the banks of the River Derry, 'Doire', The Grove of the Oak, upstream before it joins the Slaney, 'Slainte', River of Healing." DCD Manual
