The town is also very well known for the widespread growth of Psychedelic ("magic") mushrooms in the surrounding countryside. The number of inhabitants who regularly use these natural hallucinogens is not know but it is thought to be a significantly high percentage. One famous local, known only as the Notorious Bastard, has often been found attempting to scale the old Protestant church (now converted to a visitor centre and known as Athleague Angling Centre), and also attempting to copulate with local farm animals while on a high from these mushrooms. Despite his grim reputation the Notorious Bastard has proved to be a major pull factor in attracting tourists as well as the growth of recreational fishing in the area on the River Suck.
