Town of Trim

Trim (meaning The Ford of the Elder) possesses the most extensive collection of medieval monuments in Ireland. The King John’s Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman Castle in Europe, used as a location in the film “Braveheart” is the most important among them. A most celebrated place in history, Trim has been instrumental in shaping the life and career of such historic figures as the Duke of Wellington and Dean Jonathan Swift. Today it is a thriving and busy market town. The Trim Visitor Centre and Craft Shop situate just in five minutes from the castle. An excellent audio-visual show which relates the history of the town and county has been set in the centre while the craft shop holds a store of Irish handicrafts.
