IN THIS SECTION YOU WILL FIND PHOTOS OF HISTORICAL INTEREST. PLEASE TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO READ THE FOLLOWING WHICH WILL BE OF GREAT INTEREST TO VISITORS TO OUR LOVELY LAKE COUNTY WESTMEATH.
Mullaghmeen Forest
There are woodland walks so boring you think you'll scream if you see another wretched conifer; and then there are woodland walks like those in Mullaghmeen Forest up in the northernmost tip of Co Westmeath. The great thing about Mullaghmeen, apart from its location as a delightful surprise in a Midlands county not exactly celebrated for its walking grandeurs, is its huge variety.
There are certainly sitka spruce, Scots pine and fir trees; but the 400 hectares of Mullaghmeen, founded on fertile limestone and threaded with waymarked trails, also contain the most extensive planted beech forest in Ireland. That means beautiful colours in spring and autumn, carpets of bluebells in early summer, and plenty of dappled sunlight penetrating the leafy canopy of the wood.
A calm, cool morning, and the slender beech trunks of Mullaghmeen Forest made a haze of pinky grey on their hill. Among the trees it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful, each footfall muffled in a shroud of leaves.

The Belvedere Story
Belvedere House was designed by the famous architect Richard Castles who designed the majority of the Palladian mansions in Ireland. Built for Robert Rochfort later Lord Belvedere in 1740 as a Georgian Villa, somewhere to escape the ordeal of Family life at their nearby main residence Gaulstown House. Belvedere became Robert's main Irish Residence after a family predicament where Robert's second wife was accused of an affair with his younger brother Arthur who lived at nearby Belfield House.
The wife, Mary Molesworth spent 31 years under House arrest at Gaulstown until the earls death in 1774.
This was a major scandal at the time and led to Robert being known as The Wicked Earl for his cruel treatment of his wife and subsequently his brother and his family. Arthur died destitute in a debtors prison and Robert dis possessed his nine nieces and nephews.
A different but related argument with another brother George led to Robert erecting the Jealous Wall in 1760 to block his view of his brothers much larger house, Rochfort (now Tudenham) house.
No children were ever born at Belvedere during it's history and ownership was passed from cousin to cousin, through Charles Brinsley Marlay in Victorian Times, to Charles Kenneth Howard-Bury in 1912 and finally to Rex Beaumont in 1963, Belvedere's last private owner. Westmeath County Council bought the estate including Mullingar Golf Club in 1982 for 250,000 irish pounds.
Joe Dolan Statue
In the Market square there is a life sized bronze statue of one of Mullingar's most famous sons, the entertainer Joe Dolan who sadly passed away in 2007. It was sculped by Carl Payne and I think it captures very well the charisma of the late great singer. . Joe was a legend on the domestic Showband* music scene and even had a huge hit in the UK and European charts in 1968 with a song called "Make Me an Island".,
Mullingar
Mullingar {An Muileann gCearr in Irish, meaning "the left-handed or wry, mill"} has become the administrative centre for County Westmeath. The neighbouring lakes, Lough Owel and Lough Ennell attract many anglers,as well as Lough Derravaragh - best known for its connection with the Irish legend - the Children of Lir. Mullingar has expanded in recent years from just a few shops on the town's main thoroughfares - Oliver Plunkett St., Austin Friars St. and Mount St. to several major shopping areas. There is an out-of-town retail park at LakePoint, the Harbour Place shopping centre near the town centre and a new development at the Green.
Mullingar now possesses amenities such as New state of the art library, gymnasiums, swimming pools ,snooker halls, internet-cafes, and Arts Centre and railway station, newly renovated Greyhound Stadium, and new Bowling alley located out the Lynn Road - (Tullamore Road)
The County Town of Westmeath, Mullingar is a thriving business, administrative and industrial centre. It is located on the River Brosna and midway between Lough Ennell, Owel and Derravaragh, which service the amenity needs of the town and is encircled by the Royal Canal which with its locks links Dublin with the River Shannon. This canal is now navigable to Abbeyshrule in neighbouring County Longford.
Famous for beefsteak and bachelors, Mullingar's sporting facilities, pubs, restaurants, nightlife and accommodation are second to none, with several 4-star hotels in Mullingar boasting state-of-the-art leisure centres and public swimming pool. Mullingar was one of the ancient palatinate towns founded by the Normans. In 1227 a priory was founded there by the Canons Regular of St. Augustine. The Dominicans also started a foundation there about the same time.
Today the town is a thriving commercial centre and is the centre of probably the best cattle raising district in the country. It is encircled by the Royal Canal which with its 46 locks links Dublin with the River Shannon. The cost of building the canal bankrupted its investors and it was never profitable. The town contains some early 19th century style architecture and is dominated by the cathedral, dedicated in 1939, and imposing Renaissance-style structure.
The two towers of the cathedral are 42.6 m high and surmounted by gilt bronze crosses; over the main door there is some fine carved stonework by the late Albert Power, R.H.A. The great mosaics of St. Patrick and St. Anne, near the high altar, are by Boris Anrep and are in the great tradition of Rome and Ravenna; the cathedral has an interesting ecclesiastical museum. Other buildings of note are All Saints Church, erected in 1816, the recently restored Market House which houses the town council chambers.
Tullynally Castle Gardens
Romantic wookland and walled gardens covering nearly 10 hectares set beside one of Irelands's largest Castles. Winding paths lead to two ornamental lakes, a grotto, a chinese garden and victorian flower garden, for children there are Llamas, Ducks and special adventure trail. Homemade teas are available in Castle Courtyard.
Open: 2 -6pm on weekends & bank holidays in May, June, then daily from July 1st to August 17th. (Groups welcome at other times by arrangement.) Admission charges:€6, Children €3, family ticket €16 children under three go free family consists of two and two children groups of 20 people or more €5 per person
Tullynally has been the home of the Pakenhams, later Earls of Longford, for over 350 years. The original 17th century fortified house was remodelled first as a comfortable Georgian mansion, then as a huge rambling gothic revival castle in the early 1800's, by the 2nd Earl of Longford.
It is still lived in as the family home, now probably one of the largest in Ireland to survive in private hands. The interiors, part Georgian, part Gothic revival, have a fine collection of furniture and pictures.
Guided tours also take in the splendid Victorian kitchens and laundries, complete with all their equipment. (n.b. castle tours by previous appointment only : see contact us). The gardens, like the castle are on a magnificent scale, taking in nearly 12 acres. Terraced lawns around the castle overlook superb 18th century parkland. The adjoining woodland gardens and walled gardens date largely from the early 19th century and encompass a grotto of eroded limestone from nearby Lough Derravaragh and two ornamental lakes.
The present owners have added a Chinese garden, complete with pagoda and a Tibetan garden of waterfalls and streams; and a local sculptor has made fantastic woodcarvings in existing roots and trees. The walled gardens have extensive flower borders and an avenue of magnificent 200 year old Irish yews. For children, there is also an Adventure Trail leading to the lower lake, and for those who wish to take the gardens more slowly, there is an assortment of delightful, ornamental summer houses and seats, each offering a different view.

Fore Abbey
The Christian monastery at Fore was founded by St Feichin in 630AD. Prior to his death by yellow plague in the 660s, it is believed that there were as many as 300 monks and 2000 students in residence. Unfortunately, the only remaining pre-Norman building is St Feichin's Church, which was built around 900AD, on the foundation of an earlier structure. Between 771 and 1169, Fore was burnt at least twelve times. About 1180 Norman landlord, Hugh De Lacy built a Benedictine Priory on the facing hillside dedicated to Saint Feichin and St Taurin. Because of its relationship with a French abbey, Fore was regularly seized by the English authorities as "alien Property" when England was at war with France.
The priory was built around the cloister and courtyard. Three round-headed windows of the original chancel still stand. Unfortunately this part of the priory is now closed to the public, but you can tour the rest of the remains including the cloisters which still has some graceful re-erected arcading shown right. During the 15th century a fortified tower was built at the western end of the priory, shown in the image above, and another tower to the south which was more for residence. The defensive design of the tower is evident by the arrow slits and murderous layout of the gateway. The ruins of Fore Abbey are the only remnants of a Benedictine abbey in Ireland.
St Munna's Church Taghmon
The fortified church at Taghmon was built as a parish church around the middle of the 15th century. It is situated on the site of a late 6th century monastery founded by St Munna, aka St Fintan. The church is a single cell with a barrel vaulted roof. A delightful feature of the church is the battlements with Irish crenellations. Another unusual feature for a church is the machicolation built above the door in the south wall. The church and tower also have a pronounced base batter. It originally had four ogee headed windows with cut sandstone surrounds, divided between the north and south walls
The massive tower at the west end of the church was to provide security for the clergy who lived here during these turbulent times. As you walk up the track to the church, it looks very stocky and apart from the crenellations a quite plain looking building. But there are a few very interesting surprises, the most notable of these being the sheela-na-gig sitting above the first window of the northern wall.
The sheela is in a squatting position with her arms around her legs holding her vulva open. Sheela na gigs are grotesque looking female figures (hags), usually skull-headed and displaying their vulva. Though now mostly found in Ireland and Britain they are thought to have originated in France. Immediately above the northern door is the head of an ecclesiastic and on the western wall of the tower is another head carving

Situated: From Dublin take the M4 West. At Kinnegad change to N4 for Mullingar. At exit 11 take the R394 north. At Crookedwood take a right turn, signposted 'St Munna's Church' . Drive down here for about 2 kilometres, the church is on your right
