Memorial to the great famine, Mullingar

Nice little walk back to Dublin

Nice little walk back to Dublin, Mullingar

 sourbugger Says:  The Royal canal was built as a rival to the Grand Canal in Ireland, but never really took off in the same way.This waterway, that passes through the middle of the town is naviagable back to Dublin, a distance of just over 50 miles.Alternatively there are a number of walks...

Restaurants  

Lotus restaurant: Looked like a nice place

Lotus restaurant: Looked like a nice place, Mullingar

 sourbugger Says:  I find most chinese restaurants in Ireland (outside of Dublin) to be quite poor, and overpriced.It was therefore suprising to find a very modern chinese serving good food at reasonable-ish prices.We only had a take away, but I would gladly eat there properly next time 

Off The Beaten Path  

List of preists in the Cathedral

List of preists in the Cathedral, Mullingar

 sourbugger Says:  The impressive Cathedral of Christ the King is referred to on the 'must see' list.I found the list of priests in the entrance atrium rather interesting. The list occasionally just reads 'vicars', a somewhat polite way of saying that the town became 'protestant' at those...

Lilliput boat hire

Lilliput boat hire, Mullingar

 sourbugger Says:  Sourbugger is no great fisherman, in fact he couldn't hook a fish finger, but if it is your thing then the following company will hire you a boat for fishing on Lake Ennell for a very reasonable 35 euro a day, or 20 without a motor. If you a fisherman, you'r the expert -...
