| 390. Tyrrellspass |
| The tidiest town in Westmeath and a National Tidy Town winner. This area was in the barony of Fartullagh and was ruled over by the Anglo-Norman family of Tyrrell until Cromwellian times. The village gets its name from Capt. Richard Tyrrell, who, at the head of a small Irish force, annihilated a large Elizabethan army at a pass north of the village in 1597. A Tyrrell Castle still stands at the West end of the village. Erected in the 15th century, it houses an antique shop and restaurant. The village was laid out as a crescent around the central green in the late18th century, by the Countess of Belvedere. |
