Three years ago today my brother and I realized a life long dream of traveling to Ireland and seeing the castles our ancestors occupied centuries ago. It’s hard to describe how amazing it was visiting Enniscorthy and Ferns Castles in Co. Wexford. The weather was also as perfect making it feel like that day was meant to be. Can’t wait to go back! 🇮🇪 . . @enniscorthycastle @fernsvillage @medievalfernsexperience ➖ #celtichammerclub #ireland #countywexford #irishcastles #fernscastle #enniscorthycastle #ferns #enniscorthy #travel #travelgram #brothers #irishancestry #irishancestors #irishhistory (at County Wexford, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chzs5MErcu4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another ancestral landmark in County Wexford, Ireland. Enniscorthy castle was built by a Norman knight in the 1190s. My ancestor, Art MacMurrough Cavanaugh attacked the castle in the 1370s in order to regain the ancestral Cavanaugh lands. He was successful, and the Cavanaughs held this castle from the 1370s until 1536. - Our tour guide, Derek (pictured with us in the last photo), is the descendant of the The Norman knight who lost the castle to our Cavanaugh ancestor. He only agreed to pose for the picture if I agreed to note that his ancestors won every battle from the time the castle was built in the 1190s until Art Cavanaugh took it in 1375. ➖ #celtichammerclub #enniscorthy #enniscorthycastle #wexford #ireland #irish #ireland #celt #celtic #castle #castles #gameofthrones #medieval #norse #nordic #viking #vikings #fenrir #fenris #brothers #history #irishhistory #familyhistory #ancestry #ancestors (at Enniscorthy Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B107vZAHRM1/?igshid=6u29mg7uto2i
