8. Trim Castle
Constructed by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter, this is the largest Norman castle built in this part of the country. The castle itself was used by the local governance as an administrative center after the Norman invasion in the late 12th century. Recently it was used as a filming location in Mel Gibson’s 1995 masterpiece, Braveheart. The castle is open to the public from 10 a.m. for a small fee.
