Tullamore Vistas and Heritage
Tullamore is County Offaly’s county town and is the official gateway to the Republic of Ireland’s midlands region, which attracts visitors each year who are interested in seeing the Emerald Isle’s bogs, peatland and forests. Staying in Tullamore means that the Slieve Bloom and the Arden Hills are close by, so you’ll not have far to go to explore them on foot, bicycle or car.
The town was built as part of the English plantations in the 16th Century, leading to the ousting of the O’Molloy clan from the region. Tullamore was notoriously the site of the world’s first aviation disaster in the 18th Century, when a hot air balloon burned down 130 homes. The town commemorates the disaster on its coat of arms, with a phoenix rising from the ashes. There are several pieces of history that every visitor to Tullamore should see. The first is the ruins of the Clonmacnoise monastery, built in the 6th Century, with a cathedral, castle and several churches. You’ll find another 6th century monastery at Durrow Abbey and Charleville Castle in Charleville Forest as well, but beware – it’s meant to be the most haunted castle in all Ireland.
In 1795, the Grand Canal was built, linking Dublin to Tullamore and the midlands, and the waterway prompted a major period of development for the town. The canal runs right through Tullamore and gives it a picture postcard feel, with Georgian houses alongside the riverbank.
