Yes, the Joe Dolan statue made the list!

While we love a good trip across the seas, the reality is that we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world so we decided to take a moment and appreciate some of the fantastic spots on this fair isle.

From Donegal to Dublin, we are taking an all-Ireland cyber roadtrip to find out what makes each county unique and highlight a few hidden gems that only the locals might know about.

This week, we’re off to Westmeath!

Our first stop would be the Belvedere Gardens for a brisk stroll in the historical and picturesque spot on the banks of Lough Ennell, followed by a trip into Mullingar to visit the iconic Joe Dolan statue before popping down to Finn’s Pub, where we’ve a good chance of bumping into Bressie or Niall Horan over a pint of the black stuff.

The following morning, we’ll work off our hangover with a trip to Athlone where we’ll take a boat trip down the Shannon, visit Athlone Castle and enjoy a dinner at the Wineport Lodge.

But don’t listen to us, here’s what the locals have to say!
