Trim Castle is located in County Meath's picturesque Boyne Valley. It dates back to the 12th century and is the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland. That alone is impressive. In the center is the Keep, a residential and defense tower with a cross-shaped floor plan. Some may recognize the castle from the film Braveheart, some of which was filmed here.

The bridge that spans the River Boyne next to the castle is also worth a look. It dates back to 1303. Then you can take a tour of the pretty town of Trim. A themed path starts at the visitor center and takes you through the medieval streets and to other historical sights.

And learned something again. I didn't know until today that Mel Gibson was beheaded here. But even without Braveheart, the castle, including the other historical facilities, is well worth seeing.
