Newbridge, officially known by its Irish name Droichead Nua, is the largest town in Kildare with a population of almost 30,000. It is Kildares commercial centre and boasts plenty of great shopping facilities from the glamorus Newbridge Silverware to high street shops such as Penny's and Marks & Spencers.

The town is home to the county Arts Centre, The Riverbank Arts Centre, and the county Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) pitch, St. Conleth's Park on Main Street, a great place to take in hard-fought club matches.
