About Kildare Town
Kildare Town is a historic, well-connected market town in County Kildare, set close to the Curragh and surrounded by countryside, including the neighbouring areas of Ballysax, Kildangan, Nurney, Pollardstown and Rathangan. It has a settled, community-oriented character, with established residential streets, newer housing and a busy town centre centred on local shops, cafés, pubs and everyday services. Families have access to primary and secondary education in and around the town, while Dublin commuters benefit from frequent rail services and direct road connections. Kildare Train Station provides regular trains towards Dublin, Portlaoise and further destinations, and local bus services operate from the Bus Park. The town is well placed for larger-scale shopping at Kildare Village, alongside supermarkets and independent retailers in the centre. Leisure opportunities include the open spaces of the Curragh, nearby Pollardstown Fen and local sports facilities, with horse racing and equestrian activities particularly prominent in the wider area. Residents also have a choice of traditional pubs, restaurants and cafés in the town, while landmarks such as St Brigid’s Cathedral and Kildare Cathedral add to its distinctive heritage setting.
