Summary edit

Description

Trim is a small town located in County Meath , on the banks of the river Boyne about 45km (28 miles) northwest of Dublin . The name comes from the Irish 'Baile Atha Troim', which translates as 'the town of the ford of the alder trees' and its origin dates back to the 5th century A.D.

Among its more recent claims to fame, is the filming of a major part of the movie 'Braveheart' here in 1996. At that time, the castle had extensive additions that were part of the movie sets. Now the castle has been successfully restored and opened to the public. The reconstruction made minimal changes to the Castle but returned it to its original grandeur.

Because of its historic buildings and monuments, Trim was designated as a Heritage Town by Bord Failte. The town used to be the centre of the Norman power at its peak. Today, the bustling town of Trim has much to offer the visitor. There are three golf courses in the area for the enthusiasts as well as a horse riding centre, a pitch and put and many walking trails.

The Meath Heritage and Genealogy Centre, located on Mill Street will be able to assist those of you that are seeking information on family heritage. The center is open from Monday to Friday.
