Overview
3About Vicarstown
Vicarstown is a quiet canal town straddling the Laois-Kildare border along the Grand Canal in Ireland's flat midlands. The R419 connects you to the M7 at Junction 14 near Monasterevin, about 15 kilometers northeast, making it handy for Dublin, Cork, or Limerick. Local roads link to Portarlington and Athy within 20 kilometers. The area has decent golf courses, shopping at Kildare Outlet Village, and around 50 EV charging points scattered about. The town's claim to fame is its historic swing bridge over the canal, one of the few manually operated bridges still opening for boats.
