About Westmeath

County Westmeath lies at the centre of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands and is closely linked to the River Shannon and Lough Ree. The county is home to well known visitor landmarks such as Athlone Castle, a restored riverside fortress in the heart of Athlone, and Lough Ree, which attracts anglers, boaters and walkers throughout the year. The Royal Canal Greenway runs through the county and offers a traffic free route for walking and cycling, while nearby Clonmacnoise and the Hill of Uisneach, one of Ireland’s most important ancient and sacred sites, add strong cultural and historical interest to the area.

Away from the waterways, towns such as Mullingar provide a mix of shopping, cafés, music venues and local food, set against a backdrop of lakes and open countryside.

Westmeath’s inland location makes it easily accessible from Dublin and well suited to touring the wider midlands. The county appeals to visitors planning fishing holidays, walking and cycling breaks, boating trips, heritage visits and relaxed self catering stays rooted in Ireland’s ancient landscapes and waterways.
