County
Monaghanis remarkable for the
great number of its little hills. Only
a few rise higher than 1,000 feet, but
from many points there are good views
over the well - tilled, undulating countryside
with its lakes set here and there between
the hills.
Monaghan
formed part of the ancient territory of
Oriel, and was known as the MacMahon country
because of the dominance of that powerful
clan. From the 13th to the 16th century
the MacMahon family controlled Monaghan,
but in 1589 control passed to the British
crown.
It is the perfect destination
for the serious angler, casual golfer,
walker or cyclist who prefers the peace
and quiet
of winding country lanes.
This
is a county of great cultural and artistic
wealth, with several bronze age megalithic
sites and pre-historic remains. The poet
Patrick Kavanagh found his early inspiration
here at Inniskeen, where there is now
an information centre on his poetry and
life. Visitors to County Monaghan will
be surprised at the diverse range of
activities and entertainment available
to all in this beautiful area
