Athy, commonly pronounced โA-thighโ, is a historic market town located in County Kildare, Republic of Ireland. The town is found on the River Barrow and the Grand Canal, explaining its prominence as an inland port and draw for canal leisure activities. In the South West of County Kildare, it's about 40 miles from Dublin, making it a popular base for commuters. The Grand Canal is a triumph of Georgian-era engineering. It connects Athy to Dublin and allowed the town to flourish as an important commercial centre. Athy is the ancestral home of renowned Arctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. The Shackleton Museum in town is dedicated to his life and achievements. White Castle, located in the centre of town, is the most prominent landmark, standing guard over the River Barrow crossing. The Athy Heritage Centre-Museum hosts the Shackleton Museum and other local history displays, such as the 1798 Rebellion and the impact of the Grand Canal.
