My town Athlone is located in the Midlands of Ireland, , the river shannon runs through it and divides the town in two , it also divides the provinces of connaught and leinster
We have a castle that sits on the banks of the river that was firsr built in the early 1200s for king john of England altho it has been restored and modified many tines since
Atlone is also home to Irelands oldest pub Seans bar and it also claims to be the oldest in the world.
@Celt50 What an incrediably beautiful castle and cool bar. Really interesting. I wouldn't mind going to that pub, seeing the castle and exploring Ireland. I hope I can visit there some day. I've always been fascinated by it.😊
