An Outlet shopping treat in the Irish countryside:
Finding a designer outlet in the Irish countryside is a real treat. At Chic Outlet Shopping’s Kildare Village, you’ll find over 50 boutiques selling favourite labels from Anya Hindmarch to Molton Brown, Clarks to Bally, Calvin Klein Jeans to Cath Kidston at discounts of up to 60%. Chic says that they have the only Ballyboutique in the whole of Ireland, although I believe there is a Bally shoe shop in Dublin.
Local attractions
Kildare Village (the town) is a lovely place to use as a base to explore rural Ireland, play golf on championship courses, visit the Irish National Stud which has a really beautiful Japanese Garden. There are a few nice restaurants in town and Irish pubs are legendary.
