Kill (Kildare)

united kingdom

Kill sits 30 kilometers southwest of Dublin in County Kildare, perfectly positioned where the Dublin Mountains meet the Kildare plains. The N7 motorway runs just north of town, making it a handy commuter base for Dublin workers, while the R410 connects you to Naas and other local spots. You're right in the heart of championship golf country here, with the famous K Club among several top courses nearby. The town gets its name from the Irish "Cill" meaning church, and you can still see the medieval church ruins in the center, some bits dating back to the 13th century.
