Tours are offered daily and there is a visitors center onsite.  Trim Castle is a Historic site and when you enter the castle, you enter another world. This is living history that goes beyond the ordinary.

All the above castles, except one,  are in Ireland, a land with many castles. All throughout Europe there are castles and the one in the USA is a misplaced authentic Tuscan Castle. Though many of the castles are restored, many more dot the countryside as ruins.  In the restored castles you will find reenactments of period history, tours, some have inns, others have restaurants, others even have small gift shops. A trip to Ireland is an adventure in living history.

Castles are among Europe's most distinctive landmarks. They bring to mind brave knights and princesses locked high in a tower. Despite their iconic status, castles were built only for about 600 years during Europe's medieval period. In the modern era, European castles are both picturesque ruins that serve as tourist attractions and lived-in family homes. @exploretraveler

Thanks for reading @vnyrox.

I love a good castle

That would be great @darkblack.

Great article! I found you on Kryptonia, although unlike a lot of people using the service I actually took time to read your article, which you clearly put a lot of effort into.

Beautiful castles. I'd love to visit them some day. I'm not sure if I've ever been to a castle, although I'm also unsure what exactly qualifies as a "castle".

Thanks again for your article!
