点评:Trim Castle is a wonderful place to visit. It is an enormous castle with attractive grounds and lots to see.
Others have written on the castle's history, but it is now somewhere around 900 years old. There are extensive castle walls and a large tower structure in the center.
It's free to walk around the grounds (which we recommend) and a tour of the castle tower is something like £5. The tour is well worth it. They tell you a lot both about the castle and how castles worked in everyday life.
They filmed many of the scenes in the movie Braveheart here, although they made several changes for staging reasons. The movie starred Mel Gibson and won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1995.
There are extensive park grounds around the castle that include the River Boyne, which along side it and various other ruins, such as a large monastery tower. Part of the walk is closed for renovations, but you can still get most of the way around. There is also a herd of donkeys kept about 300 yards south of the castle near the roundabout. A small bridge to the north (again, about 300 yards) purports to be the oldest in Ireland.
This is a great castle in a charming town only 45 minutes or so from Dublin. We stayed at the Drum Castle Hotel, which was very good, but it would also be part of an easy day trip.
翻译:特里姆城堡是一个值得一游的好地方。它规模宏大,拥有迷人的庭院和众多景点。
关于这座城堡的历史已有不少著述,但据记载,它至今已有约900年的历史。城堡拥有绵延的城墙,中心耸立着一座高大的塔楼。
您可以免费漫步于城堡庭院(我们强烈推荐),参观城堡塔楼的费用约为5英镑。参观绝对物超所值。导游会为您详细讲解城堡的历史以及城堡在日常生活中的运作方式。
电影《勇敢的心》的许多场景都取景于此,尽管出于拍摄需要,剧组对部分场景进行了改动。这部电影由梅尔·吉布森主演,并于1995年荣获奥斯卡最佳影片奖。
城堡周围环绕着广阔的公园,博因河蜿蜒流淌其间,此外还有一些其他的遗迹,例如一座大型修道院塔楼。部分步道因翻修而关闭,但您仍然可以游览大部分区域。城堡南边约300码(约274米)处,靠近环岛的地方,还养着一群驴。北边(同样大约300码,约274米)有一座小桥,据说是爱尔兰最古老的桥。
这座城堡坐落在一个迷人的小镇上,距离都柏林只有大约45分钟车程。我们住在德拉姆城堡酒店,感觉很不错,不过这里也很适合一日游。
