Description

Did You Know? Kildare's highest point is Cupidstown Hill near Kilteel. St Brigid, the patroness of Ireland, was buried in Kildare. When built, the magnificent Castletown House near Celbridge was the largest private residence in Ireland. The origins of Guinness can actually be traced to County Kildare, not Dublin. The Little Book of Kildare is a compendium of fascinating, obscure, strange and entertaining facts about this historic county. Here you will find out about Kildare's great houses and historic towns, its monastic heritage, its literary traditions and its famous (and occasionally infamous) men and women. Through quaint villages and bustling towns, this book takes the reader on a journey through County Kildare and its and colourful vibrant past. A reliable reference and a quirky guide, this book can be dipped into time and again to reveal something new about the people, the heritage and the secrets of this ancient country.
