A spectacular place of worship that holds up to 2,300 people. The premises contain separate prayer halls for men and women, a school, a library and even commercial stores.

County Kildare is home to the windswept Bog of Allen, and to a leisurely section of the restored Royal Canal. There’s a masterpiece of an 8th-century High Cross in Moone. Maynooth Castle anchors the leafy university town of the same name. Kildare is also home to one of Ireland’s great driving routes. Following the course of the Gordon Bennett Cup, which saw racing daredevils whizz through Kildare, Carlow and Laois in 1903, the 104-mile circuit recalls a time when Ireland’s speed limit was just 12mph. The county is a marvellous mix of old and new, of natural landscapes and precisely manicured gardens, of horseracing competitions and stylish fashion events.

If you don't want to work on your long game at the larger golf courses, play a round at the mini golf course. Other activities at Boomers include go karts, bumper boats, a rock wall, and a game room.
