Westmeath is known for its undulating farmland, wonderful lakes and glistening waterways; hence it has been given the name "The Lakeland of Ireland". Westmeath formed part of the historic Kingdom of Meath, with its name derived from Mide (meaning "middle"), owing to its location at the geographical centre of Ireland.
