Your businesses location is critically important for your target market – but also for your team. Kilbeggan’s central location is useful to access the rest of Ireland but Kilbeggan has plenty to offer.
Kilbeggan Town
Kilbeggan is situated on the River Brosna, in the south of County
Westmeath. It is around 4 kilometres north of the boundary with
County Offaly, and 9 kilometres north of Tullamore.
It is surrounded by the gently rolling Esker Riada, sand hills that stretch across the Irish midlands, left by retreating glaciers at the end of the last ice age. It is famous for the location of the oldest recorded incidence of a tornado in Europe and possibly the world.
Kilbeggan Races
Regular meetings are held throughout the year at the
Kilbeggan Races. It mingles the heart stopping spectacle of racing
over jumps with the laid back charm of a genuine rural meeting.
Locks Distillery
Locke's Distillery in Kilbeggan is the last remaining example of a
small pot still whiskey distillery in Ireland. It was licensed in 1757 and
whiskey production continued for 200 years until 1957, when the
distillery closed its doors. In 1982, the local people began restoring
the old distillery and today it is open to the public as a Museum
