Explore Clane: The best things to see, do and eat!
Clane is a small village in Kildare with a huge amount to offer. Here at Zest, we feel that Clane is the perfect place for those who want a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Located just 25 minutes from Dublin, Clane has a notably easy-going atmosphere.
