7mi/11km west of Kildare lies the ancient little market town of Monasterevin, with handsome late 19th C. houses.

To the south of the village is Moore Abbey, an elegant 18th C. house built on the site of an old monastery. It is now a home for the mentally handicapped.

North of Monasterevin the Grand Canal crosses the River Barrow in an aqueduct.
