Athlone — Moate Essentials

This district in the heart of Ireland's Midlands features landmark historical sites spanning over a millennium. Athlone is home to the 12th-century Athlone Castle and Sean’s Bar, established in AD 900. To the east, Kilbeggan hosts the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery and a dedicated evening racecourse. The region's spiritual and archaeological heritage is preserved at Durrow Abbey and the Cat Stone on the Hill of Uisneach, while the ruins of Moydrum Castle and the waters of Lough Ennell define the local landscape.
