Just opposite the village, in a grove, stand three 16th and early 17th century crosses. One was erected to commemorate a couple who were killed in a coaching accident, the second commemorates a couple killed by a runaway horse and the third appears to be just a headstone. The Protestant church contains a finely carved 13th century baptismal font and at the east end of the village stand the remains of a 15th century church. Rathwire, 2km from Killucan, was the meeting place between King John of England and Cathal Chrobhdearg, King of Connaught, in 1210 A.D.

Kinnegad located at the junction of two major routes in Ireland, where the roads from Dublin to Galway and Sligo meet, as a long tradition in providing hospitality for the travelling public. It has many eating houses with facilities to cater for every taste from early morning to late at night... The terrain around Kinnegad is a Walker's Paradise, especially 'An Boreen Bradach' a walkway of approx. 3.5 miles which semi-circles Kinnegad. Along the Boreen nothing interrupts the view across the flat open fields streching in all directions. It is aesthetically and visually soothing to walk and gaze out over flocks of sheep and herds of cattle grazing. Depending upon the desires of the walker, naturalist or just plain observer, the sole expenditure is time and the only requirements are a keen eye and ear for what is all around while listening to the whispers of the soul.

Milltownpass is approximately 9 miles from Mullingar on the N6. The Tyrrell family had castles at the pass of Kilbride and Milltownpass, where they also had one of their mills. These castles guarded passes through the bog on the route from Dublin to the West. Belvedere House and Gardens make for an interesting excursion.
