ATHLONE CASTLE

OLD RAIL TRAIL

All year round the new Athlone to Mullingar Greenway is the perfect way to get
out with the kids and enjoy the fresh air. Bring your own bikes or hire them
where the trail begins in Garrycastle. The route follows the old railway line
for over 40kms all the way to Mullingar and because it’s for bikes and
pedestrians only, it couldn’t be safer. Plus there are no hills so it’s easy on
little legs too. There are entry and exit points every few kilometres so there
are plenty of places to stop and explore along the way. The whole family will
love Dún na Sí Amenity & Heritage Park just outside Moate. With beautiful
grounds, stone ring forts, fantastic sculptures, a brilliant playground and a
fab café for mum and dad, it’s sure to be a hit. After that, there are old
station platforms, towering bridges, beautiful countryside and even an deep rail
tunnel. Whether you choose to just do a small section or to use Athlone as your
base and do it all over a few days, the Old Rail Trail is a cycling route where
you can let go and really enjoy.

LUAN GALLERY

Stroll across the bridge in Athlone and nestling on the right hand bank you’ll
find the stunning Luan Gallery. A showcase for the most interesting artists from
the midlands, Ireland and abroad, the building itself is a modern work of art in
its own right. With floor to ceiling windows offering uninterrupted views across
the majestic Shannon water, it’s a space that gives the work real room to
breath. There’s always an eclectic and balanced mix of media on display from
painting to sculpture to textiles. Entry is completely free and if you’d like a
one on one tour, that’s free too. All you have to do is ask. What’s more the
collection on display changes every two months so there’s always something new
to see. A feast for the eyes, it’s a fantastic way to spend some time.

KILBEGGAN DISTILLERY

Immerse yourself in over 250 years of Irish whiskey making at Kilbeggan
Distillery, the heart of Kilbeggan town for two centuries. See the 19th century
water wheel that’s still in use and the steam engine, which is still fired up on
special occasions. You’ll enjoy a visit to the old warehouses and even get to
meet the onsite distillers. But no trip to a distillery is complete without a
wee drop. So a tour that’s literally steeped in history, treat yourself to a
master class in tasting Kilbeggan’s four unique Irish Whiskeys, Greenore Single
Grain, Kilbeggan Irish whiskey, Tyrconnell Single Malt and Connemara Peated
Single Malt. If you’re the designated driver don’t worry. You’ll get a taster
size to enjoy the moment you get home.

DERRYGLAD FOLK MUSEUM

No trip to the midlands is complete without a visit to the Derryglad Folk
Museum. The collection showcases Farm & Folk life in Ireland from the 18th
century to the recent past. See all sorts of artefacts from a time gone by, from
horse-drawn machinery restored to the original working order to a 1930's
old-style thatched bar & grocery. It's a step back in time and a picture of
bygone days.

THE HILL OF UISNEACH

Since prehistoric times, the Hill of Uisneach has been the great assembly for
the tribes and High Kings of Ireland. It was here that laws were made and
disputes settled. A place of energy and renewal, people have been drawn here for
over 5000 years. This was the seat of High Kings, a sacred site of worship, the
place where St. Patrick established a presence and the burial ground for Éiru,
the goddess after whom the Ireland was named. And it was from here that Catholic
Bishops met in 1111AD to begin the work of dividing Ireland into Dioceses. This
is the royal centre of Ireland and the coming together of the five provinces.
The fifth being Mide, the magical ‘otherworld’. This sacred site still hosts
Ireland’s oldest festival, the Uisneach Bealtaine celebration. It is a festival
of Irish culture, art, heritage, ceremony and sport which has been held here
every May since time memorial.
