After boarding your comfortable coach you will make a move towards Hill Of Tara around which means the Seat of the High Kings – the most sacred site in ancient Ireland. It is said that a quarter of Ireland’s landscape can be seen from this point. Next stop is great Trim Castle where the most important and best-preserved Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland.
