Canal Splendour - Grand Canal Co.Kildare

The Grand Canal is one of two canals which connects Dublin with the River Shannon, the other being the Royal Canal. The canal from Sallins was opened to traffic in 1779 and there was a passenger service operating from Sallins to Dublin in 1780. This service operated twice weekly.
The canal near the village of Sallins Co.Kildare is popular for fishing and boating. There are many canal barges moored in Sallins Marina, some of them permanent residences.

The picturesque town of Robertstown is also on the Grand Canal, which runs from the centre of Dublin City all the way out to the River Shannon, the longest river in the British Isles. Together with the Royal Canal, the Grand Canal once served an important commercial function. In the mid 1800's the Grand Canal carried in excess of 100,000 passengers a year and was used by freight barges up to the 1960's. Today the canals have no commercial use but are still popular recreational destinations. Both canals are frequently used by fishermen and Roberstown is the base for canal cruises. Both of these picturesque villages are within 30 miles travelling distance from the busy city of Dublin and are highly recommended for a quiet and pleasurable day out!
