To visit the village of Ferns in the Republic of Irelands’ County Wexford is to feel as if you have stepped back in time. Originally established as long ago as the 6th century it was once the capital of region known as the Kingdom of Leinster, and as if this wasn’t enough to make you feel as though you’ve stepped into an episode of Game of Thrones, the centre of the village is still dominated by the magnificent remains of Ferns Castle, a fortress originally built in the 13th century.
