Athlone (Irish: Baile Ãtha Luain, meaning "town of the ford of Luan", or according to local historians, "The Ford of the Moon") lies on the River Shannon near the southern extremity of Lough Ree, Republic of Ireland.
Athlone is the largest inland town in Ireland, and is close to the geographical centre of Ireland, upon the borders of two counties, Roscommon and Westmeath, which are in the provinces of Connaught and Leinster respectively.
The ford of Athlone was strategically important, as south of Athlone the Shannon is impassable until Clonmacnoise (where the Esker Riada meets the Shannon), and north is Lough Ree.
