Built in the 18th century to connect Dublin to the Shannon River and the Irish
midlands, this is a major example of engineering skills of the period. The towpath
on either side of the canal has a rustic character, with terraces od small brick
houses, wildfowl and swans on the water, and a series of curved 18th-century bridges.
