Robertstown (Irish: Baile Riobaird)[2] is a village on the banks of the Grand Canal in County Kildare, Ireland, 12 km north west of Naas.

Robertstown was a planned village, set along the canal featuring a prominent hotel and bridge with a small row of cottages and a shop.

For a time business was good, with the canal carrying 100,000 passengers per year, but revenues began to fall and gradually the 72 windows and 62 hearths were closed up to avoid paying tax.

The town caters for tourism with canal walks, fishing and an annual vintage fair which takes place in June every year.

[citation needed] Ducks, swans and herons, fish such as pike, barracuda, bream, tench, roach and stickleback, and mammals such as pygmy shrew, stoat, and brown rat, are all observed locally.
