Mullingar

A lakeland town of cattle fairs and canal trade, ringed by Lough Owel, Lough Ennell and Lough Derravaragh — where the Children of Lir spent the first three hundred years of their exile as swans.

• Hill of Uisneach · The mythic navel of Ireland, where the five provinces met at the Catstone and the great Bealtaine fire was lit — answered by fires on hills across the island.
• Hill of Uisneach · Where the goddess Ériu, who gave Ireland its name, met the invading Milesians and was promised the island would bear her name forever. It has.
• Lough Derravaragh — the Children of Lir · Here the jealous Aoife turned Lir's four children into swans for 900 years — 300 on this lake, 300 on the Sea of Moyle, 300 on the Atlantic.

All of these are pinned on the Hidden Ireland map.
