Beautiful, historic city centre campus which houses lots of interesting things other than students including the Book of Kells, a book made by monks in 800AD! Trinity College is the oldest university in Ireland. Situated on a 40 acre site and retains some of it’s ancient seclusion of cobbled streets, gardens and parks.
On a sunny day, grab a student priced beer from the Pavillion and watch the cricket on the grass!
