Hook Head
(Redirected from Hook, Wexford)
Hook Head is a peninsula in County Wexford, Republic of Ireland on the R734, 50 km from Wexford town. This area is renowned for having one of the world's oldest working lighthouses, built in the 13th century.
The phrase "by Hook or by Crook" allegedly entered the English language when Oliver Cromwell stated he would attack Waterford city "by Hook or by Crooke" – Crook Head being a small headland on the opposite side of the Suir estuary.
