Introducing Mullingar & Around
Humming with the activity of locals going about their daily lives, Mullingar (An Muileann gCearr) is a prosperous regional town. In the greater area, you can visit fish-filled lakes, a pewter factory, and the area’s main draw – a fantastical mansion with an odious history.

The town itself is one of the few places outside Dublin that James Joyce visited, and it appears in both Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Restored sections of the Royal Canal extend in either direction from Mullingar.
