The bustling town of Newbridge, situated at the heart of Kildare on the banks of the Liffey river, makes an ideal base for visitors wishing to see around the county. And just a little further afield, Dublin city is only 25 miles away. Newbridge is Kildare's second largest town with a wide range of contemporary amenities. Shoppers enjoy a mix of small local stores and high-street names at the Whitewater Shopping Centre, while active types can choose from several leisure and sports centres. Nights are fun too in Newbridge, which boasts a good selection of restaurants, bars, clubs, music venues and cultural entertainments at the Riverbank Arts Centre. Meanwhile, anyone with local ties can trace their family tree at the Kildare Heritage & Genealogy Centre in Newbridge. Another great attraction of the town is the greyhound track, the only one in Kildare. Newbridge is surrounded by many places of interest. To the west are the Curragh Plains, where the renowned Curragh horseracing course is located. A number of stud farms are found to the east of Newbridge, while the Bog of Allen lies to the north west, a vast and now endangered area of peatland crossed by the Grand and Royal canals
