A little history, Trim castle was constructed by the powerful Norman Lord Hugh de lacy in the 1170s, that’s a long time. It stands at the most important crossing point on the River-Boyne, which gives the town its name, Ath Truim or the Ford of the Elder Trees. Fun fact, it also featured in MelGibsons film, Brave Heart. Today it is one of the best place to get a really good sense of the architecture of a medieval fortress.
