Hazelhatch
Hazelhatch (Colchoill in Irish) is an area on the border between Co. Kildare and Co. Dublin in Ireland. It is located approximately halfway between Celbridge and Newcastle. The Grand Canal passes through the area, and Hazelhatch is one of the places of recreational activity along the Grand Canal, with fishing and boating. There are two pubs in Hazelhatch, beside the canal. Although it is not a village, there is a concentration of one-off houses around the area.
