Carrickfergus, (Northern) Ireland Day Trip 🇬🇧 Travel Vlog: Andrew Jackson Centre and Castle

Описание: 🏡 Andrew Jackson Centre, Carrickfergus Castle, and an Abandoned Radar Tower | Northern Ireland Travel Vlog 📡🏰

Explore Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland -- a town with deep historical connections to the U.S., medieval warfare, and maritime navigation. In this video, I visit:

🏡 Andrew Jackson Centre – A replica homestead representing the birthplace of Andrew Jackson’s parents before they emigrated to America. The museum covers Ulster-Scots heritage, the Jackson legacy, and the Scots-Irish influence on the U.S..

🏰 Carrickfergus Castle – A 12th-century Norman fortress that has seen invasions, sieges, and naval battles over the centuries. One of Ireland’s best-preserved medieval strongholds, it played a role in conflicts between the English, Scots, and even the French Navy.

📡 Carrickfergus Radar Tower – A Cold War-era maritime radar school, now abandoned and left to decay by the sea. Once used for ship navigation training, it now stands as a forgotten piece of 20th-century history.
