The county’s name, derived from the Irish “An Iarmhí,” meaning “the western midlands,” reflects its central location. Westmeath is home to beautiful lakes, including Lough Ennell and Lough Owel, providing opportunities for water activities and relaxation. Athlone, the county town, straddles the River Shannon and boasts Athlone Castle, an impressive 12th-century fortress. The Hill of Uisneach, an ancient ceremonial site, adds to Westmeath’s historical allure. With its serene countryside and notable landmarks, County Westmeath offers a delightful escape into Ireland’s past and natural beauty.
