   The "Spa Hotel" is noted for its famous Spa Water. It stands on a height and is situated on the road leading to Leixlip.
   The "Old Spa" ( at the foot of the Chapel Hill ) is also noted for its great spa water. In fact the water in the old spa is said to be the best spa water + the stongest. This was the original spa + got the name Old "Spa" when the Spa Hotel was built.
