Kilcullen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kilcullen is a small town in County Kildare with a population of about 4,000 people. Kilcullen is situated on the Naas–Kilkenny road, about 30 miles from Dublin, and straddles the River Liffey.
The town, originally known as Kilcullen Bridge, developed after 1319 when a bridge was constructed here across the River Liffey.
It is about four miles from the Curragh, the center of Ireland's horse racing industry and is home to the Aga Khan's horse breeding operation, the Gilltown Stud.
On a side note, it is also home to the Blood Angels chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.
[edit] Trivia
The seats in Kilcullen's local cinema are all seats from Volvo S80 cars. Nobody leaves before the end of a film.[1]
