Cross of the Scriptures is just one of the landmarks located 7 mi (11.2 km) from central Athlone, so you might want to stop by for a few pics during your trip.
If visiting museums in Athlone are on your list, you might want to check out the upcoming exhibitions at Museum. If you want to experience more of the culture Athlone has to offer, head to Clonmacnoise Cathedral, Clonmacnoise, and Temple Ciaran.
