Trim Castle

Situated in the lovely town of Trim, this is one of the biggest and more spectacular castles i have seen. The sheer size of the walls surrounding this structure are a sight let alone the actual castle itself. Surrounded by water, again for defensive purposes there are gates that lead  to the main entrance but the walk around the small park to the side is enough if you want some amazing pictures. There are signs explaining the different aspects if the walls and castle with illustrations showing what it was like around that time. As you look through the many gaps in the walls the castle is visible for all to see as it is situated on top of a small hill. Breathtaking and beautiful it stands therein all its glory and well protected from attack. Facing Trim Castle on another hill are the remnants of an old church which stretches into the sky. Also well protected from attack you can see the castle very clear from this vantage point, even better than ground level and a great opportunity for some pictures. The grass surrounding the castle is a bit marshy so i wouldn't wear good shoes if you want to get close to the River it is very misleading until your standing in it and that's when you find out. Directly behind you is the river that would have given access to the many ships and visitors to this great castle. All in all a great day out.
