Locke's Distillery & Museum  in Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath is believed to be the oldest licensed pot still distillery in the world. Established in 1757 Irish malt whiskey was made here for almost 200 years. 
The local community has re-opened the distillery as a museum of industrial archaeology to show you how whiskey was produced in times past.
Follow the process from the grinding of the grain to the casking of the final product. Watch the working water wheel and see the fermentation vats. 

Following Jonathon Swift's visit to 'Lilliput' on Lough Ennell, he was moved to write Gulliver's Travels. It is widely believed that after noticing how small the people on the opposite bank of the lake appeared to be, he was inspired to write this wonderful children's tale, and used the name of the small hamlet 'Lilliput' on Lough Ennell that inspired it.

The Hill of Uisneách, is reputed to be the very centre of Ireland. Located just five miles west of Lough Ennell, this picturesque attraction, with its links with Cúcullen is steeped in ancient Irish History and folklore.
