Trim Castle

Completed around 1220, the Irish Parliament met there several times in the 15th century. It was also used as a mint for the country's currency. In modern times, "Braveheart" was filmed in Trim Castle.

Reviewed By ChitchatCanada

Included in your entrance fee to the castle is a 45 min guided tour - which we found very interesting, informative, and enjoyable and learned why this ruin is really considered more of a Keep as opposed to a castle.....and at the end of the tour you are taken to the top where there are spectacular 360° views of the surrounding area.

Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul

Reviewed By ChitchatCanada

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.

River Boyne

Reviewed By VASAVVYTRVLR - Springfield, United States

The many views and lovely parkland along the River Boyne, highlighted by grazing sheep and several cute donkeys made strolling along the river and visiting the lush gardens a real treat. Staying at Highfield House B&B with its grand country house style appearance graced with colorful manicured flower displays overlooking the Boyne River across the road made it irresistable to trot down the driveway and cross to the riverside for a stroll through the parks and gardens before crossing the bridge to go down into Trim town center for dinner. What a wonderful way to get over initial jetlag in the verdant green countryside of Ireland by enjoying such a lovely small town on the River Boyne.

The Tomb of The Jealous Man and Woman

Reviewed By lfsxavier - Dublin, Ireland

Nice ruins, nice walk. The cemetery is still active which is interesting to see, since some tombs are hundreds of years old. Trim is one of my favourite spots in Ireland for medieval walks and this is a nice part of it.

St. Patrick's Church

Reviewed By patmW8029MS - Dublin, Ireland

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.

St Mary's Abbey

Reviewed By gionfriddojp - Cincinnati, United States

Amazing structures and stories of old. St Mary's Abbey can be seen from Trim Castle and a short walk over the Boyne River bridge to the Abbey. Trim Castle tour shared some of the history of the Abbey as well which complemented the visit.

Priory of St. John The Baptist

Reviewed By ChitchatCanada

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.
