The Canal Cottage (also known as the Toll Collector’s House) on Intel’s Leixlip campus is a 300-year-old historic building right on the Royal Canal. Once used for collecting tolls from passing barges and boats, it was part of the canal’s bustling transport and trade network.
Today, it’s no longer in use for tolls but has been restored and even decorated with a mural. The spot now hosts picnic benches, making it a great rest stop along the canal.
