Ferns

Ferns is a town in Wexford, Ireland. The N11, a major road, cuts right through it, providing an excellent jumping off point for South towards Waterford or North towards Wicklow and Dublin. It's a good point to take a rest from the road without feeling as if you're missing a potential ride with the high traffic. The N11 merges with the M11 motorway to the northeast, and the volume of traffic means you'll likely be able to find a lift easily.
