We did a lot of castles on our trip and this was one of the best. We did it on our last day and were so glad we fit it it. The tour of the keep was very well done and it has been restored beautifully. Enjoyed the video as well. The castle grounds were nice as well. All in... more

Our visit to Trim Castle was a "hit" with the whole family (2 adults plus 2 children aged 4 and 9). On our arrival at the ticket desk, we booked places on the next available tour of the Keep; this gave us 20 minutes to wander around the grounds reading the information boards. The children had fun running around exploring... more

We had a bit of a rough time finding the actual entrance to the castle. This was because it is kind of small, and narrow. But, since we could not at first find our way in, we walked the entire perimeter. Here was the beautiful river Boyne, and some great wild flowers. Also the yellow tower and Sheeps Gate. All... more

We enjoyed a wonderful tour of the castle with 4 French speaking tourists who used a written guide book, so it was almost a personal tour for us. The castle has many stairs and some steep inclines so individuals need to know of physical challenges and the need for some agility going up and down. The castle has many original... more

Trim Castle is a great place to spur the imagination for both the young and old. It is very reasonably priced at just over a euro each. There is also a tour of the inside of the Castle itself which is very informative. The local area is most beautiful - Longwood and Enfield too are fabulous. If you want a... more

Trim castle is a great place to visit if you are passing through the Boyne Valley region of Ireland. When visiting the British Isles (UK/Ireland) you will usually find that most castles are either ruins (in various states of decay) or modernized to the point where they don't much resemble their original state. Trim Castle is the former, but unique... more
