Royal Canal Way

The Royal Canal Way is a 146km cycle route across Ireland without any hills. It follows the bank of the Royal Canal which was built 1789-1817. The route is on gravel, grass, mud and tarmadadam. Flora and fauna are completely undisturbed. There is some beautiful 18th cent engineering to be seen.

Decided to do a stretch of the local greenway today, 20km from Ballynacarrigy to Ballymahon. Great amenity to have nearby and will be great for the area. One negative I noticed, nothing to do with the actual greenway (which is why I didn't deduct a star). I met around 20 other cyclists/walkers/locals outside their houses. About 5 of the 20 said hello, the others just stared blankly, not very welcoming. If the place is going to be popular with people not from the area it would be no harm for some people to say hello, or at the very least don't stare.

Great place to bring children, they were enthralled with the animals and loved feeding some of them with the food provided. There was also a big sandpit with buckets, spades etc., a playground, go-karts, crazy golf and a picnic area. They didn't want to leave.

Old Rail Trail

Reviewed By Bozeman-Dublin - Trim, Ireland

We had an absolutely lovely cycle on the delightful Old Rail Trail. We went from Castletown Station to Moate and back. I really can't praise the powers that be enough for developing this wonderful amenity. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside and great to be out among the sounds of nature. AIt is really well surfaced and is plenty wide enough to allow faster cyclists by or to allow two way travel.

Belvedere House Gardens & Park

Located within Ireland’s Ancient East with many layers of life and history in the big house, Belvedere House Gardens & Park demonstrates beauty, intrigue and passion that make for an enchanting Visitor Experience and an excellent day out with a difference. The magnificent 160 acre Lakeside Estate of Belvedere House, Gardens & Park boasts a fully restored Georgian Villa, built in 1740 by the famous Architect Richard Castles. The estate has a fascinating Victorian Walled Garden, with one of Ireland's finest collections of rare and special plants. The naturalistic designed 18th century parkland, punctuated with Romantic Follies includes the largest in Ireland; “The Jealous Wall”. Within the welcoming Visitor Services Centre is a Licensed Restaurant and Gift Shop and there are also 3 outdoor children’s play areas, a zip line & many picnic areas on the estate.

We recently revisited Belvedere House and Gardens, surely one of the most storied houses in Westmeath. Designed by Richard Castle as a fishing / hunting lodge for the"Wicked Earl", Rober Rochford. It is set in magn ificient grounds which have been enhanced by a variety of colourful owners. Several 18th C follies survive, the largest of which is 'The Jealous Wall', built to block the view of his brother's house at nearby Tudenham! At the moment the house is closed due to Covid restrictions but the gardens, childrens' playground, parklands, lakeside walks etc are all open. The restored Victorian walled-garden is jaw-droppingly georgeous and full of surprises including a magical fairy garden tucked away in a corner. Belvedere is beautiful at any time but Autumn in Belvedere is extra special with something for everyone. I would highly recomment it. The staff are very welcoming and well informed and the restaurant is excellent.

Continues to win awards for its overall presentation, variety of services, plants, trees etc for your garden. Generous grounds, complete with coffee shop etc. Pity it's so difficult to find but worth it in the end.
