The town of Kildare is just a short drive south west of Dublin and should you pay a visit to the town, you will be rewarded with several fascinating sights. The Cathedral is one of the oldest in the world, dating back to the 5th century, while nearby there are some beautiful Japanese gardens which have been designed as a metaphor for life's journey.
Those with an equestrian bent will enjoy the chance to see the government owned National Stud next door, where you can visit a museum dedicated to horses and take a tour of the buildings.
