Heritage Week barge trip

A barge cruise through Digby Lock from Sallins is an interesting option for the upcoming National Heritage Week.

Operated by Bargetrip.ie, the 12-passenger restored traditional canal barge will operate each day from 19-23 August. The 2.5-hour cruise will start at 10am.

The trip will provide a unique insight into the life, history, and biodiversity of the Grand Canal as it winds through the county Kildare countryside. There will be a stop and history talk at the Leinster Aqueduct (1783), carrying the Grand Canal over the Liffey.
Kildare is known as the Canals County with 120 km of still waters crossing its landscape and linking its towns and villages.

The barge has a spacious comfortable interior with a wood-burning stove, on-board bar service, and outdoor seating areas.
