The Ryevale Distillery building is a testament to forgotten people and industries that once thrived in the tranquil surroundings of Leixlip. As Intel's modern innovation takes center stage nearby, this unassuming riverside location holds a rich history of creativity and enterprise.

For over two centuries, the energy of the River Rye fueled the growth of Ireland's linen and distilling sectors. From the pioneering cotton printing by Dixon, Taylor, and others in the 18th century to the ingenuity of Cunningham and Harpur's linen bleaching machine, this area was a hub of ingenuity and progress.
