Ferns
The remains of Ferns Castle stand at the centre of this compact historic village in north County Wexford, which also served as the founding seat of the Diocese of Ferns. A Church of Ireland cathedral remains in the village, though the Catholic cathedral is now in Enniscorthy and the bishop's palace in Wexford town.
