Newcastle is surrounded by farmland and open countryside, so it is a very serene and peaceful place to live. There are plenty of ways to get out and get active. There are sporting facilities for golf, GAA and horse riding in or near Newcastle. Arthur’s Way Heritage Trail in Celbridge offers a beautiful c.16km ramble or bike ride in sprawling woodland. Or why not get some proper fresh air with a trip to the Dublin Mountains. With breathtakingly beautiful scenery, it’s a playground for all, both young and old.
