DEBBBEDB Says: This castle has only been open to the public for a couple of years and is a great example of a Norman castle. The tour was excellent. Our son and I looked for toilets (there were supposed to be 14, but we only found a couple). We could see them from the outside (slanted...
Trim Castle and Heritage Center
Sagespot Says: Trim is considered by many to be one of the finest examples of a Norman castle in all of Ireland. Almost uniquely for a Norman castle of this scale in Europe, it has scarcely been modified since it was completed in the 13th century. Even the walls around the castle are in...
kevarms Says: The biggest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland, Trim was first built as a simple motte and bailey fortification in the 12th C. before quickly being destroyed by an Irish king. A new, sturdier castle was begun a few years later which grew into this impressive fortress. Built on...
happyhourkid Says: Built in 1817, the Duke of Wellington Monument was a tribute to Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington. Wellesley was born in Trim and is one of its most revered and famous residents. He was a noted Irish soldier and politician who later became the Prime Minister of...
happyhourkid Says: A 19th Century Catholic church with an extremely tall steeple-possibly the tallest structure in the area (either that or it just seems that way as it sits atop a hill. It is a great place to see a proper Irish Catholic mass and the interior is impressive.
happyhourkid Says: Trim offers many restaurants to choose from as well as late night fast food places. Many of the pubs also serve food during varous times throughout the day.
zone_de_guerre Says: This place has to be one of the biggest kips I have ever been in. Full of argumentative kids (nightclubs are meant to be over 18) getting sick, hammered drunk making sarcastic ridicilous comments. The pints I found to be warm and terrible and the dance floor was packed like...
Sagespot Says: One of the best things about Trim is the location. About 40 min. outside the Dublin airport and within an easy driving distance of just about everything in County Meath, it's pretty perfectly positioned.Because Trim is located to the northwest of the Dublin Airport, you even...
happyhourkid Says: Trim is a small enough town to where you can walk to wherever you need to go, and there are plenty of signs directing you to everywhere you'll want to see and do. Depending on where you're staying, you may need to use one of the taxi firms that operate in Trim just to get...
happyhourkid Says: I've noticed that car rentals have become much more affordable these days than in years passed. Almost all of the major car rental companies have moved into Ireland, creating a lot of competition. The benefit of renting a car, of course, is being able to travel where and...
happyhourkid Says: If you decide not to rent your own car it is very easy getting to Trim. The best and most economic way is by bus, as taxis from Dublin and Dublin Airport can be very expensive. You can use the Bus Éireann service right from Dublin Airport. You'll need to change buses in the...
happyhourkid Says: Whatever essentials you need, be it toothpaste, medicine, etc. make sure you purchase them as early as you can. The shops in Trim, with the exception of some of the petrol stations, close much earlier than the shops do in, say the U.S for example. There aren't any late night...
happyhourkid Says: Some of the country roads into and out of Trim can be hectic. There's not a lot of traffic on them, but they are winding and there are things that obstruct your views of the curves ahead, like foliage and homes/sheds, etc. If you're from a country where the driving takes...
Visit a Gaelic Speaking Community in "The Pale"
showe1966 Says: In the 1930's, a gaelic speaking community was transferred from the west of ireland to the village of Rathcairn near Trim so as to try to make the famously-anglicised local residents of the Trim area become more Irish !The village of Rathcairne remains an isolated centre for...
zone_de_guerre Says: To be honest the town has nothing to offer, it's a terrible village with absolutley nothing to recommend! I am shocked tht happyhourkid recommends it for a day trip! Avoid at all costs!
happyhourkid Says: If you have the luxury of a car, take a quick 10-15 minute drive to one of the neighboring villages. Trim in itself is great, but on peak days during peak seasons it attracts lots of tourists. It's times like this that it can be worthwhile to visit true small-town Ireland...
happyhourkid Says: Ireland is renowned for their prestine golf courses and the ones that surround Trim are perfect examples. There are multiple courses to choose from and are just minutes from town. County Meath Golf Club 3 miles from TrimParkland, 18 holes, Par 72.This club provides a...
happyhourkid Says: After you've taken in all of the sites and attractions it might be worth your while, if you're a sports fan, to take in a Gaelic Football game. It is a very interesting and entertaining sport that is native to Ireland. For those of you that have never heard of it or seen it,...

We visited Trim on our first day in Ireland. Needless to say, we got a tad lost due to some bad maps and poor road signs - but happily found Trim and Trim castle early that morning. Trim literally...

July 12, 2001- We spent the first two nights in Trim (Co. Meath) in a nice B&B. After we visited the Hills of Tara, we drove back into Trim and found an ATM machine and dinner in a pub-like place.
