The Bealtaine Fire Celebration on the Hill of Uisneach, is a genuine gathering of the tribes; people of all creeds, from all over the world coming together with the local community to create a truly unique event. 

One of the most enduring legends of Uisneach is that it was the location for the first great fire to be lit in Ireland. According to the Dindshenchas (Lore of Places), the fire was lit by a druid named Mide and burned on the Hill for seven years 

As the centuries progressed, the great fire became the catalyst for the Bealtaine festival; an annual gathering and fair at Uisneach that continued to early modern times. Traditionally, the fires in every home and hearth across Ireland would be extinguished in anticipation of a new flame from Uisneach’s Bealtaine Fire. 

Fires were then ignited on the other sacred hills of Ireland, created a unique ‘fire eye’ over the island; symbolising the country’s emergence from the darkness of Winter into the light of Summer.

Athlone Castle

Over the centuries it has been the nucleus of the Anglo-Norman settlement; a stronghold of the rival local families the Dillons and the O’Kelly’s; the seat of the Court of Claims; the residence of the President of Connaught and the Jacobite stronghold during the sieges of Athlone.  After the Siege of Athlone it became incorporated into the new military barrack complex.  It remained a stronghold of the garrison for almost three hundred years.

In 1922 when the Free State troops took over the Barracks from their British counterparts, they proudly flew the tricolour from a temporary flagpole much to the delight of the majority of townspeople.

In 1967 the Old Athlone Society established a museum in the castle with a range of exhibits relating to Athlone and its environs and also to folk-life in the district.  Two years later when the military left the castle it was handed over to the Office of Public Works and the central keep became a National Monument.

Belvedere House and Gardens

The family associated with the strange story surrounding the Jealous Wall and Belvedere House were the Rochforts. A very old and influential family who came to Ireland during the 13th century.  Robert Rochfort, later to become the 1st Earl of Belvedere was a Member of Parliament for Westmeath.  He married Mary Molesworth, talented and known in the theatrical circles of Dublin.  Robert Rochfort was well-known for his selfish qualities, but under constant pressures particularly from her own family, Mary reluctantly gave her consent and they were married on August 1st 1736. 
After the marriage the couple settled at Gaulstown House, his family home. There is a sad story of how Lord Belvedere locked his wife up for thirty years in a room because she was falsely accused of having an affair with his younger brother. 

The Jealous Wall was built c. 1760 as a result of a quarrel between Robert Rochfort and another brother George, the owner of nearby Rochfort House (subsequently re-named Tudenham House), now, alas a melancholy ruin. The Wall was built between the two houses as an artificial ruin of an abbey so as to exclude from Robert’s view the sight of his brother’s residence of which he was jealous. It is believed that the Earl went to enormous expense in constructing the ruin, to the extent of hiring the services of a celebrated Italian Architect Barrodotte to superintend its erection.

The Wall is in the form of a large gothic ruin built in stone with a central wall, Three pointed windows high up, and five smaller round headed windows above them. Two square wings project at either end of the wall which stands some 20 metres high.

The Jealous Wall still stands today, and is said to be the largest purposely built ruin of its kind in Ireland.

Hells Fire Club

Few places in Ireland are as full of stories as Montpelier Hill. The hill is located at northernmost extent of the Dublin-Wicklow mountain range. Two passage tombs were constructed on the summit during Neolithic period, the time of the first farmers in Ireland over 5,000 years ago. These tombs were great mounds of stone and earth, with a stone lined passageway that led to a burial chamber. The most famous example of a passage tomb in Ireland is the great monument at Newgrange in the Boyne Valley. The tombs here were part of an extended cemetery that stretched throughout the Dublin and Wicklow Mountains. From this vantage point, you can see another tomb at Fairy Castle on the summit of Two Rock Mountain to the east. 

The unusual building on the summit is known as the Hell Fire Club and was constructed as a hunting lodge for William ‘Speaker’ Conolly in 1725. The Irish Hell Fire Club was founded by Richard Parsons, Earl of Rosse in the 1730s. He was a notorious character who was infamous for obscenity, blasphemy and receiving guests in the nude. This group of characters were derided by the establishment of the time. The famous satirist Jonathan Swift complained of a ‘brace of monsters, blasphemers and bacchanalians’. The young men who were members of the Irish Hell Fire Club were often referred to as the young ‘Bucks of Dublin’, and accounts from the time paint lurid pictures of debauchery and gambling, and intoxication on their special drink, a potent mix of hot butter and whiskey known as Scaltheen. The group scandalised society until the death of Richard Parsons in 1741.
