Athlone, an idyllic town divided in two by the magnificent River Shannon, an amazing section of things to do across a two-day break with an abundance of nature activities in walks, cycle trails, and boat trips.
Athlone Castle is the obvious go-to, but in its (literal) shadow lies a peaceful town of history and heritage, with easy access to sprawling greenways, watery adventure, and a pace of life that’ll help you unwind from the stresses of modern life.
