Plan your visit
Two regiments, one castle keep
The museum sits in the keep of Enniskillen Castle, the birthplace of both regiments over 330 years ago. Inside you'll find personal treasures and battlefield curios, weapons and army vehicles, medals and uniforms, art and musical instruments, and regimental silver and trophies. The displays trace the Fusiliers and the Dragoon Guards from their origins through to their later lives as part of the Royal Irish Regiment and the Royal Dragoon Guards. It's compact and well laid out, so you can read every case without it feeling like a slog.

Getting there
Inniskillings Museum is at Enniskillen Castle, Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, BT74 7HL. On-site parking available. Tap below for directions.
Enniskillen is the only town in Great Britain and Ireland to give its name to two regiments. The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards were both raised here over 330 years ago, at the time of the Williamite wars, taking the town's name with them across centuries of service.
The regimental museum is housed in the keep of Enniskillen Castle, a fortified site on the River Erne. Today both regiments live on within the Royal Irish Regiment and the Royal Dragoon Guards, and the museum preserves their medals, uniforms, silver, art and personal stories under one roof alongside the Fermanagh County Museum.
