Naas is located in
West County Kildare and is the county town of Kildare. It was
previously the seat of the Kings of Leinster,
Naas to-day is a rapidly growing dormitory suburb of Dublin and this
has resulted in its development as a thoroughly cosmopolitan town
with the best of shops, pubs, food and accommodation. For real
market atmosphere, visit Naas Farmers Market at The Storehouse
Restaurant every Saturday from 10 to 3pm.
On the outskirts of the town are two of the county's three
