Sallins Bridge is a fine stone bridge that forms an imposing feature on the Grand Canal and is one of a group of bridges on the section of that canal that passes through County Kildare. Although comprehensively renovated in the late twentieth century the bridge is of considerable technical, historical and social significance as a reminder of the canal network development in Ireland, which brought about many technical advances and developed commercial activity in the locality.

Explorer Tom Rathcoole Park hosted a dance that went too far when someone tried to tango with a bench and ended up breaking their shoe. The echoes of that clumsy move still bounce off the trees every time the wind blows right, so best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll to ground yourself in reality.
