With its narrow, winding streets that rise and fall with the lie of the land, grey stone malthouses and jagged castle ruins overlooking an ancient bridge, Leighlinbridge opens a vista of Ireland’s Ancient East to the visitor.
The founding of Leighlinbridge was greatly influenced by its historic importance as a transport route. With one of the town's main features being the Valerian-bearded bridge, built in 1320 by Maurice Jakis, Canon of Kildare Cathedral. It remains today one of the oldest functioning bridges in Europe.
Leighlinbridge has produced more than its fair share of famous people including the daring Captain Myles Keogh, aide to General Custer, the scientist and mountaineer John Tyndall, the former Archbishop of Sydney, Patrick Francis Moran and the Right Hon. Brian Mulroney, Prime Minister of Canada from 1984 – 1992 whose family hailed from Leighlinbridge.
Attractions include: The Millennium, Vivaldi and Sculpture Gardens and Garden of
Remembrance. Ireland’s first all-county World War 1 Memorial. Black Castle,
Arboretum Home and Garden Heaven.
