Kilbeggan Heritage Trail

Locke's Distillery, reputedly the oldest licensed pot still distillery in the world, still turning its Brosna-fed waterwheel since 1757, the walled graveyard on the site of a vanished 12th-century Cistercian monastery, and the five-arch Coola Bridge carrying the Mullingar road over the river and its old millrace — 3 stops through a Westmeath river town. Looking for things to do in Kilbeggan? Start here — no car, no ticket, no booking.
