Naas

united kingdom

Naas is County Kildare's main town with 26,000 people, sitting 30km southwest of Dublin on rich farmland. The M7 motorway gets you there in 35 minutes from the capital, continuing on to Cork and Limerick. It's a handy base for exploring Ireland's horse country, with Punchestown Racecourse nearby hosting the famous April festival. Over 100 EV charging points serve the area, and while there's no direct rail link, Sallins station is just 5km away on the Dublin-Cork line.
