Nature & Outdoors

Athlone’s heart is one of natural beauty and outdoor wonder in so many ways – from rolling countryside to wetland reserve. Pack a picnic and kick back in beautiful parkland or follow a nature trail on foot or bike in the company of rich flora, fauna and wildlife. The natural world here is a birder’s paradise, while fully stocked lakes offer world-class fishing. Whether you’re horse-riding, cycling or strolling wooded glades and forests – you’ll find your happy place.
