The Caledon Beam Engine is an exciting relic from another era that will accompany you on your tour through the Northern Ireland countryside. Nestled in the remains of an old wool mill, the beam engine tells of an era when the pounding and banging of machines shaped everyday life. Today it stands almost forgotten by the roadside and is a reminder of the region's industrial past. The ruin has its own charm - rusty gears, weathered walls and a feeling of time standing still. If you want to pause for a moment to take in the surroundings, this is an ideal place to dismount for a moment. This is not about perfectly restored monuments, but about the raw charm and stories that such places carry. Look out for the old inscriptions and the signs of decay that give the Beam Engine an almost sculptural appearance. This place is a silent witness to a time long gone and offers you a welcome change from the wide fields and winding roads of the region.

Stopped here on our walk for a rest and to forage some elderflower. It was idyllically quiet apart for the occasional interuption dogs looking to cool off in the water.

Monaghan lies in the far north of the Republic of Ireland, close to the border with Northern Ireland. It is the county town of County Monaghan and even though it's home to only about 8,000 people, the city is one of the cultural and economical centers of the area. Surrounded by many little hills, it is also a very nice place to stop and rest when you're out cycling around here.
