Mullingar

Mullingar is centrally located with a superb selection of accomodation, wide variety of visitor entertainment, quality restaurants, shopping and other activities. Mullingar, being the county town of Westmeath, has a significant collection of public and civic buildings. Built on the River Brosna and encircled by the Royal Canal, Mullingar is a thriving commercial centre . Originally a busy market town, many buildings date back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, notably the Courthouse and the Market House. The earliest public building still extant in Mullingar is probably the former County Infirmary to the east of the town, built c.1770. The Royal Canal was constructed as far as Mullingar in 1806 and there is a fine harbour and a dry dock to the north of the town.Columb Barracks, was built the west of the town at the same time. Mullingar Railway Station, built in 1849 to designs by J.S. Mulvany, is uniquely sited on the fork of the Dublin-Sligo and Mullingar-Athlone lines.
