After your visit to the Castle take a leisurely walk arounds Trim’s Porchfields. Visit the yellow stepple, discover the jealous man and woman and take in the banks of the Boyne on the way back.
6. Take a trip to Causey Farm
On Easter Sunday and Monday between 1pm and 5pm the Easter Bunny and all his friends have prepared an action packed afternoon of Eggcellent Easter Fun.
Meet Mrs Bunny and she will show you all around her Rabbit House. You can make your way through the burrows, big and small and get your face painted when you reach daylight!
Farmer Higgledy Piggledy, a small farmer has moved into the farm next door and you can call into him while you are here.
Help us dig our garden ... it's Springtime so there's lots of carrots to be planted to feed all the bunnies! For overnight packages click here.
7. Take a family trip to Arc Cinema and Bowling
The new Arc Cinema and Bowling alley is a perfect afternoon out with the family- especially in the rain! For more information click here.
8. Discover the highest point in Meath In Loughcrew
A short drive from Navan and Trim, Loughcrew is the sister of Newgrange Monument but not as packed with tourists and completely free to visit. Bring good walking shoes to make your way up to the summit and enjoy spectacular views!
9. Take a tour of Slane Castle
Meath is the Royal county, so if you liked Trim Castle, you would love Slane Castle. Home to all of the famous rock concerts throughout the years, this castle has history dating back to 1703.
10. Take a self guided walking tour of Trim.
Pick up the Trim Passport at Trim Visitor centre, The Castle Arch Hotel or the Stockhouse restaurant and take a self guided walk to all of the historic sites around Trim.
