ATHLONE TOWN IN THE CENTRE OF IRELAND
Athlone Town is located in County Westmeath on the banks of the River Shannon, Ireland's longest River. It's a great location for people who want to cruise the Shannon. The population of Athlone is over 21 thousand.

My Mother's side, the Leonards, are from Athlone. My Mom was born across the street from the Castle and down the st. from St Peter and Pauls.

We visited a couple of times in 2018. The castle museum is a must, and there are some lovely walks to be had. We hope to visit again, in these post Covid days.

First time viewer of your channel. I agree that a well-kept town is a thing of beauty and rarity these days. Athlone ticks the box. Duly subbed.👍

I missed you not showing what you had to eat, othewise very good video, other towns could take a few tips from Athlone, especially Kells which on last visit I found very grey and dull, we need more color in Ireland.

Thanks Jacqueline. I had the spuds and tea before I reached Athlone. 👍😊
Don, you are sitting on the old sewage pipe structure. I used to fish for bream there. The town dump was behind you and the wool mills that burnt down was across the river where the flats are now. I left Athlone in 1990. It was a very grey and dull place in the winter. Not liek all the new buildings or the old ones that have been painted so bright.

Wow, that's a hard one to answer. Rent's are crazy over here. You both would want a combined wage of one thousand a week.
