County Monaghan along with Counties Cavan and Donegal are the only three counties belonging to Ireland in the province of Munster. Like Cavan, Monaghan's geographic profile is dominated by hilly farming land formed by glaciers during the Ice Age. Famous for being both peaceful and scenic, County Monaghan is the ideal destination for those interested in hill walking, angling and golfing.
For those interested in poetry, the Patrick Kavanagh Rural and Literary Resource Center is worth a visit. This center celebrates the life and works of this famous Irish Poet. Monaghan County Museum meanwhile provides an education and heritage resource for locals and visitors alike. |
