Paddling near Newbridge, Co. Kildare
Newbridge sits in County Kildare on the River Liffey, and the river is the heartbeat of local paddling. Newbridge Kayak Club, founded in 1999 and affiliated to the Irish Canoe Union, runs sessions at the Liffey beside the Patrician Boys School, making use of the College Weir for slalom, playboating and general practice. The Barrow, reachable to the south-east, extends the touring options considerably.
