Clane
Clane is a small Irish town situated on the River Liffey. It is located 20 miles from Dublin and half way between Maynooth and Naas in North Kildare.
History
The town can be traced as far back as 520 A.D. when it consisted of an abbey founded by St. Ailbe, Bishop of Fernes. At one point the town existed as a peninsula jutting into a now dried up lake on the river Liffey.
