More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a polished Mercedes outside your Dublin hotel and the city’s stone and traffic ease away as the chauffeur heads north. The road opens to low hedgerows and pastoral fields; the River Boyne threads past Trim as you approach the castle where weathered limestone walls and arrow-slits loom above a slow-moving river.
