Kildare became a key base for the Norman invaders and their famous
leader Strongbow, and the audioguide describes how Kildare was the scene
of tragedy during the 1798 Uprising. In its later history, Kildare
became a venue for aristocratic horse racing enthusiasts, and a vital
stage in Ireland's first great motor race.
