Your chauffeur meets you at Dublin Airport arrivals or at your Dublin City address, loads your luggage, and drives you directly to Mullingar in County Westmeath. It’s a private vehicle for your group alone - no shared passengers, no unnecessary stops - and the journey takes around an hour on the N4.
Mullingar is the county town of Westmeath and sits almost exactly at the geographic centre of Ireland. It’s a working market town with a wide main street, a good few independent shops and cafes, and a cathedral - the Cathedral of Christ the King - that’s worth a look if you’re passing through. The town grew around the Royal Canal, which was extended here in the early 19th century and still runs through the outskirts.
The journey from Dublin on the N4 passes through Kinnegad before cutting northwest toward Mullingar. The road is good and the midlands landscape is open and flat, which makes for an easy drive. You’ll cross the Royal Canal a couple of times on the approach to Mullingar, and if you’re arriving in evening light the lake country to the west of town starts to show itself as you come down the hill into the town centre.
Lough Ennell is the closest of the Westmeath lakes to Mullingar, about five kilometres to the south. It’s an attractive lake with a wooded western shore and a local reputation for good coarse fishing. Lilliput House, a small estate on the northern shore, gave Jonathan Swift the name for Gulliver’s Lilliput - he stayed here while writing parts of the novel. Belvedere House and Gardens on the eastern shore of the lake is one of the better estate gardens in the midlands and well worth an afternoon.
Mullingar is well positioned as a base for exploring Westmeath’s lake district. Lough Owel to the north is popular with water sports clubs, Lough Derravaragh to the northwest has legendary connections with the Children of Lir, and Fore Abbey in the valley beyond is a well-preserved medieval Benedictine priory. Most of these are within a 20-minute drive of the town, so a day of slow exploring by car covers a lot.
