About
The Leixlip Spa (Irish: Spá Léim an Bhradáin) (also known as Louisa Bridge Spa) is an archaeological and hydrogeological complex at Louisa Bridge, Leixlip, near Dublin, Ireland, situated close to the Royal Canal. It was a popular health spa in the late 18th and early 19th century. The site is known to contain a warm mineralised spring and a cold spring originating from different sources. The archaeological structures comprise a hexagonal spring well and a Romanesque bath. The warm spring was uncovered in 1794 during the construction of the Royal Canal. The mineral spring, marsh and seepage areas at Louisa Bridge are included in the Rye Water Valley / Carton Special Area of Conservation
