About Enfield
Enfield grew where the canal and the Midland Great Western Railway met: once the railway opened, travellers from Dublin came this far by train and changed to the canal boats here. Its Irish name, An Bóthar Buí, the yellow road, recalls the hay that the old cattle markets left on the main street. The harbour lies on the western side of town beside an amenity park, and it is a main access point to the greenway, with free parking, a picnic area and a fairy trail for small children; Waterways Ireland lists toilets, showers and a slipway. The centre, about 450 m away, has cafés, restaurants and supermarkets, and the Famine soup pot in the town is a quiet memorial. Trim Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland, is about an hour away by bike.
