About

Enniskillen is the only town in Great Britain and Ireland to confer its name on two regiments. They are Calvary and Infantry. They are Inniskillings.

And Enniskillen Castle is where their story began more than 330 years ago.

A visit to The Inniskillings Museum is a journey through more than 300 years of world history as encountered by the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers (infantry) and the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards (calvary).

Be inspired by the heroism of the men who served all over the world. Envelop yourself in the rich collection of personal treasures, souvenirs, weapons, vehicles, medals, uniforms and regimental silver on display at the Museum. Enjoy the stirring sound of bugle calls, bagpipes, and regimental music. Connect with the emotive poetry of Francis Ledwidge,...Read More
