The largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland, with a gatehouse, mint and keep.
Trim Castle is the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland and was built over a period of 30 years by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath, and then by his son Walter, beginning in 1172. Construction of the keep on the site of an earlier wooden fortress began in 1176. Trim Castle declined in importance during the 16th and 17th centuries and changed owners until Cromwell handed it over to the Wellington family. It consists of a guard house, a mint and a keep.

Superb medieval castle on the edge of the Boyne! We only visited the castle (there is a guided one hour tour of the dungeon): Very good value for money, very complete explanatory panels in English and identical guide translated into different languages including French offered at the reception when we price the entries.

Un super château dans le village qui porte le même nom . Il a servi de décor au film braveheart c'est un peu pour ça qu'à la base on y est allé. On a pas été déçu , le guide était vraiment très sympa et serviable . Un parc aussi sympa avec une petite famille de canard et sa tribu qui m'a fait fondre. Le prix de l'entrée est assez raisonnable , il ne faut pas hésiter à le faire.

Trim, on y arrive, on ne s'attend pas du tout à trouver ce superbe château sur les bords de la Byone, ce très joli village à découvrir. L'hébergement à Crannmor est exceptionnel aussi.
