Ballynafagh, County Kildare

Ballynafagh is a peaceful place to enjoy nature, local history and time outdoors in the Kildare countryside. Ballynafagh Lake, also known as Blackwood Reservoir, is just north of Prosperous. It was built to supply water to the Grand Canal, and today it is a lovely spot for a quiet walk, birdwatching or simply taking in the views across the water. With its mix of lake views, open countryside and local stories, Ballynafagh makes a lovely outing for anyone looking to spend time somewhere quiet and full of character.

It’s a place that feels spacious and peaceful, with plenty of room to slow down and take in the Kildare countryside. With its mix of nature, history and local tradition, The Curragh makes a lovely outing for anyone who enjoys fresh air, open spaces and time spent somewhere with real character.
