Kildare: Castletown, gardens and a day away

Choose architecture in Celbridge, an equestrian interest or a family outing elsewhere in Kildare.
Castletown House in Celbridge, County Kildare

A day around Castletown

Castletown House in Celbridge offers an architectural focus for a Kildare visit. Check the current arrangements for the house and grounds separately before travelling. If the building is the reason for your trip, establish what interior access is available rather than assuming it comes with a visit to the surrounding landscape.

Choose another interest

The Irish National Stud and Gardens and Lullymore Heritage & Discovery Park are other possibilities in the county guide. They offer different themes and suit different days out. Choose the one that appeals to your group, then look at the actual visitor programme and practical arrangements.

Stay for lunch

A day trip does not have to end as soon as the main visit finishes. Decide where to eat and leave a little time for the nearby town, checking what is open on your date. If you are staying overnight, give the evening a purpose too. A comfortable base and a meal close by can be more useful than another attraction across the county.
