When touring Killaloe, the charm of the town can best be captured on the banks of the canal. The route runs along the water and always offers a view over the river to Ballina and the historic Killaloe Bridge. The soothing rippling, the boats gently rocking and the lush green banks can be wonderfully enjoyed from the saddle. The town itself is full of small cafes and restaurants - an ideal place to take a break or start or end the tour. The road itself has a few bumpy spots, but the scenery easily makes up for that.

Around the June bank holiday, the streets come alive with colour and celebration during the Carrick Carnival.

The Keep of Athlone Castle is a National Monument. The castle, which formed part of Athlone's defenses for 750 years, became a museum in 1966 run by the Old Athlone Society and was also given a modern visitor center by the city council in 1991. Athlone Castle is the fulcrum for understanding the development of Athlone, linking modern Athlone to its Norman founders.
