About This Tour

A private day tour to Brú na Bóinne (a real UNESCO World Heritage Site), Slane Castle, and Trim Castle, led by named guide Brian. This is a private tour/activity - only your group will participate, confirmed directly on the operator's own listing. Visit Brú na Bóinne (Newgrange/Knowth), Slane Castle, and Trim Castle - used in the film Braveheart - with guide Brian, named across every review. Newgrange tickets must be reserved in advance on their own website.

Trim Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland, was begun in 1172 - almost immediately after the first Anglo-Norman arrivals in the country - and expanded over the following decades by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter into the imposing stone fortress that still dominates the town today. Its scale made it a natural choice for Hollywood: the castle was used as a filming location for Braveheart.

Slane Castle, also on the route, is a different kind of historic site entirely - a genuinely still-inhabited estate rather than a ruin, standing in contrast to the passage-tomb sites elsewhere on the tour.

This private tour is explicitly confirmed as private by the operator's own listing - "This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate" - and runs with guide Brian, named consistently across every review. Newgrange and Knowth tickets at Bru na Boinne, a real UNESCO World Heritage Site, need to be reserved in advance directly through their own website, separate from this tour's booking.
