Charleville Castle

Charleville Castle, the Masterpiece of Francis Johnston, once derelict, vacant, closed-off and decaying, has been rescued from near ruin by volunteers of the Charleville Castle Community. Built originally as a dramatic Power Center in the Midlands - a most important Irish symbol of the Union with Great Britain 1801 - it is a project of the Peace Process - authenticate, intact and "of the people". The long avenue to the forecourt is now fully open - some areas require supervised access or guides [set donation] - Volunteers rotate on duty 24/7 - 365 days a year - sharing actively with the public. It is famous for its ghosts stories and unique architecture - it is not a state-funded project and depends entirely on volunteers and supporters - the local community and many thousands more openly express love and support for the Castle. Come visit - we hope you will get a real feeling of what it is to keep a big Castle like this alive - hopefully your visit can be enhanced by a guided tour.

volunteer-run, donation-supported (no defined entry fee), personal feel to the tour. this is a different tour than you'll have at a more traditional/formal castle, as it's not as established and (thankfully) not run by a large entity. the tour guide was excellent, as was the access to the rooms, the relaxed pace of the tour, and the stories about the family.

Offaly Grand Canal Greenway

Reviewed By wyldwyll1 - Athlone, Ireland

Its been 2 years since my last review and i can happily report that the amenity is improving all the time. Additional Signposts, Dog foul Bins and other enhancements are in place. Starting in Tullamore. To the West the Greenway now extends 15km to Pollough (The wonderful Lough Boora Parklands is accessible a further 12km along, but there is some work yet to be done to enhance the route). The route is rural. The surface is a mix of tarmac and dust track but is well maintained and suitable for walkers and cyclists of all ages and abilities. To the East the greenway stretches to Ballycommon (6km) with similar underfoot conditions. Since Covid-19 this wide open air free amenity is well populated and appreciated by all. Plans to extend to Daingean (6km further East), Lough Boora Parklands (West) and Kilbeggan to the North of Ballycommon (partially constructed) are nearing construction (2021!). Tips :- Bring a lunch and plenty of water for long strolls. Toilets are not provided (yet!?), thus public houses in Tullamore, Pollagh (the Pull INN (lovely pub) and Ballycommon are your best bet for the time being if caught short (and to have a well deserving pint perhaps!). Out of towners seeking bike hire can hire from Buckley Cycles or the Tullamore Cycle Centre both providing top quality new bikes at affordable costs. Enjoy a trek/spin and spread the good word.

Booked two nights B&B one dinner and Spa package for our Wedding Anniversary. A nice pre Christmas getaway too. Greeted at Reception by Lovely Martina who surprised us with an upgrade to The Presidential Suite. A nice bottle of Champers was also included. Leona at The Hotel’s spa looked after us with a very relaxing back massage’s and facial for my Lady. Food at La Balcone restaurant was fantastic and the staff so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely mid week stay and couldn’t recommend the hotel enough. Great food, central location in Tullamore, friendly and welcoming staff who made us feel at home. Fantastic value for money too. Well definitely be back.
