Geocache Description:

This cache is along the old railway line. There is a new path beside the line which can be walked or cycled. The cache is around twenty minutes walk from the car park (where a smaller cache is placed). The cache is a small container with a pen and a little room for swag. 


 Known as the Old Rail Trail, this is the Westmeath section of the Dublin–Galway Greenway and extends from the existing Royal Canal Greenway in Mullingar to the town of Athlone. While the route of the Royal Canal Greenway extends north of Mullingar towards Coolnahay and is now completed to the Longford boundary just short of Abbeyshrule, the route of the Dublin–Galway Greenway branches off from the canal towpath joining the former Mullingar–Athlone railway track, passing through the scenic landscape of County Westmeath via the villages of Castletown Geoghegan, Streamstown and onto the town of Moate before arriving in the Shannon side town of Athlone.
 
The walking and cycling route consists of a three metre macadam cycle track which will run along side the railway tracks.  The tracks will not be lifted but will be filled with quarry dust to cover the railway sleepers, making it suitable for walking or running.
