Tubberclare or Tubberclair [1] is a village and townland in County Westmeath, Ireland, between Ballymahon and Athlone. It lies 90NaN0 from Athlone, on the N55 national secondary road, and 20NaN0 north of Glasson. Toberclare is the official spelling of the name in English.
Tubberclair is also the name of the surrounding parish, which includes the villages of Glasson and Ballykeeran. It borders Lough Ree on the Westmeath side and is reputed to be the geographical centre of Ireland with a monument depicting this in the centre of the parish.
The exact meaning of Irish: Tobar Chláir|italic=no in Irish is uncertain. While the first element refers to a well, the second element Irish: clár may refer to a board.[1] [2] Alternatively, it could mean the well of the plain, as Tubberclare is a largely flat, fertile plain.
It is home to a primary school, community centre, heritage centre, shops, pubs, restaurants and many small businesses including marinas. It is also home to Tubberclair Gaelic football club which has provided several inter-county players over the years. It is also home to the Glasson Golf Hotel and Country Club, with a course designed by Christy O'Connor Jnr that borders Lough Ree. The centre of Ireland is believed to be the Pinnacle, in Rath, a region of Tubberclair.
