Westmeath is famed throughout Ireland for its beautiful lakes and rivers. Beautifully unspoiled, this delightful county is a haven for watersports enthusiasts, anglers, boating and some truly stunning cruising along the renowned River Shannon.

Filled with intriguing houses and gardens, and gorgeous forest parks, Westmeath is a perfect for enjoying outdoor life at its best.

For more of an urban buzz, head to Athlone, the largest town on the River Shannon and a wonderfully lively spot with excellent restaurants, elegant accommodation and one of the oldest pubs in Ireland.
