In 1837 the town of Maynooth was described as being "of one principal street, at one extremity of which is the avenue leading to Carton, the magnificent seat of the present Duke of Leinster, and at the other the Royal College of St. Patrick". It's a description that's still accurate today - only the Duke is missing - and as you take a stroll along the tree lined avenue from the estate into the centre of town, you might find it hard to believe that this small university town is just 22km from the centre of Dublin.
