The N4 is the main road from Dublin to the Midlands and north-west and is a good road throughout.
Mullingar is the county town of Westmeath. The town has medieval origins: the name derives from Maelblatha and later a mill noted in the legend of St Colman of Mullingar. It sits in a lake-rich landscape: Lough Owel is to the north, Lough Ennell to the south and Lough Derravaragh to the north-west. Lough Derravaragh is the lake where the Children of Lir, the figures from early Irish mythology, were said to have spent 300 years as swans. The Royal Canal passes through Mullingar, connecting the town to Dublin in the east and the River Shannon at Richmond Harbour to the west. The Cathedral of Christ the King, completed in 1939, is the most prominent building in the town. Inside it contains large mosaics of St Anne and St Patrick made by Boris Anrep, the Russian-British artist, using marble and glass tesserae.
Mullingar town centre has a compact market-town layout. The older streets around Dominick Street and Oliver Plunkett Street have standard road access. The Georgian and Victorian terraces in the older parts of town have the typical narrow hallways and steep stairs of period buildings. Modern residential estates on the outskirts have clear approach roads. Rural County Westmeath uses townland addresses and the Eircode is essential for all non-town deliveries.
