1. Kells Monastic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 104 reviews
A special place, not much changed in 1,200 years. A place where the incomparable Book of Kells was written and housed for over 800 years. The biggest collection of high crosses in one area. The royal residence of High King Cormac mac Air, the Law Maker.

Old interesting headstones, amazing carved crosses, a church full of information about the Book of Kells, Irish monastic history (if you enjoy Sister Fidelma mystery books, this is must-visit too)

Great place to visit, very old, very atmospheric. As it is away from main roads it is seldom packed so great opportunity to wander around and consider the life of the original inhabitants. In very good condition and a super place to take photos. For anyone interested in history or architecture it is a must see.

Coming into Trim you will have a lot of magnificent heritage sights to behold. St. John's Castle, St. Mary's Abbey, and then St. Patrick's Church comes into view with its very prominent high steeple. Settled in a beautiful landscaped space to the rear there is a lovely grotto which commands your attention. Then as you enter the church you will be welcomed by a columned interior with striking wood work on the ceiling, and an impressive organ stands tall as you look back towards the door you entered. The Stations of the Cross are beautifully coloured and detailed, plus the stained glass windows with sunlight highlighting their coloured glass and perfect imagery. The mosaic work at the back of the altar is exquisite … its brightened by the gold contained in its Celtic designs. You come out smiling at the beauty of the craftmanship you left behind.
