We stopped here while we were doing the Trim River walk and were very surprised at the height of these ruins and how intact some walls of this cathedral are........so much so that it was easier to visualize what it may have looked like in its prime. Very enjoyable and worthwhile site.

Coming into Trim you will have a lot of magnificent heritage sights to behold. St. John's Castle, St. Mary's Abbey, and then St. Patrick's Church comes into view with its very prominent high steeple. Settled in a beautiful landscaped space to the rear there is a lovely grotto which commands your attention. Then as you enter the church you will be welcomed by a columned interior with striking wood work on the ceiling, and an impressive organ stands tall as you look back towards the door you entered. The Stations of the Cross are beautifully coloured and detailed, plus the stained glass windows with sunlight highlighting their coloured glass and perfect imagery. The mosaic work at the back of the altar is exquisite … its brightened by the gold contained in its Celtic designs. You come out smiling at the beauty of the craftmanship you left behind.

Wandering thru these ruins was very enjoyable and this was the point at which we finished our Trim River walk as they are located just past the Old Bridge. Something to keep in mind if you are going to see these ruins while doing the Trim River walk is that the main walking path along the River Boyne is on the north side of the river and these ruins are located nearby the Old Bridge, but are on the south side of the river -- so you need to cross the river via the Old Bridge and there is no sidewalk on this bridge so you have to cross alongside the car traffic.
