IT’S NOT JUST the counties in Ireland that get nicknames that stick. The many towns and villages also get names that sprout from certain features that make them unique. One such is the Kildare town of Monasterevin.

The town is often called the “Venice of Ireland” due to its many waterways, including the River Barrow and the Grand Canal that flow through it. While its official name dates back to the 6th-century monastery of St. Evin, referring to it as the “Venice of Ireland” definitely adds a certain je ne sais quoi.
