Bodenstown Graveyard
Wolfe Tone lived in Blackhall. He died in gaol in 1798 and a trip to where he is buried in Bodenstown, the focus of regular national commemorations of “the father of  Irish republicanism”, is definitely worthwhile.

Clongowes Wood College
This famous Jesuit school, where James Joyce, John Redmond and Thomas Francis Meagher all studied, was a 15th Century Eustace Castle, built to defend The Pale - a double ditch separating English settled land from Gaelic Ireland. Sections of the Pale can still be seen here. Clongowes and Rathcoffey Castles were home to the remarkable Browne and Wogan families, commemorated in the Abbey Garden .

Donadea Forest Park
Turn off the Kilcock Road for Donadea and enjoy a walk in this lovely forest park,  the grounds of the 17th Century Aylmer castle until Caroline Aylmer’s death in 1935. The evocative ruins of the castle with its lake, ice-house and St. Peter’s church all grace the park still.
