The Story of Co. Westmeath
Once part of the royal province of Mide, Westmeath, An Iarmhí, contains the Hill of Uisneach, the mythical centre of Ireland, where ancient fires were lit to mark the turning of the year. Lakes and quiet farmland surround medieval gems like Fore Abbey, while the town of Athlone guards a vital crossing of the Shannon.
