Activity itinerary

Trim Castle
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland was constructed over thirty years by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter. Hugh de Lacy was granted the Liberty of Meath by King Henry II in 1172 in an attempt to curb the expansionist policies of Richard de Clare, (Strongbow). Construction of the massive three-storied Keep, the central stronghold of the castle, was begun c. 1176 on the site of an earlier wooden fortress. This massive twenty-sided tower, which is cruciform in shape, was protected by a ditch, curtain wall, and moat.
Bective Abbey
  • 30m
Founded in 1147 for the Cistercian Order by Murchad O’Maeil – Sheachlainn, King of Meath. It was Ireland’s second Cistercian Abbey; a ‘daughter house’ to nearby Mellifont. The Order had been founded to recapture the original simplicity of monastic life; this was reflected in their restrained buildings.
Slane Castle
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Slane Castle, situated in a dramatic setting by the river Boyne, is one of the most exciting buildings architecturally in Ireland. Home to the Conyngham family since 1703, our historical tours cover the family’s colourful history and stories about the world-famous rock concerts.
Slane Whiskey Distillery
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Enjoy a VIP tour of Slane Distillery through the heritage room, barley room, cooperage, and maturation warehouse before a final stop that provides a view of the pot stills and production areas. The VIP tour concludes in the best way possible with a taste of the signature triple-casked blend, Slane Irish Whisky.
