Heading out towards Annagh loop, along the Ballyconnell canal you can enjoy the quite river landscape on mixed towpath and singletrack terrain.

A charming path along the Ulster Canal Greenway. The best way to get out of the city to head over Rossmore Forest Park.

The canal is 63km long in total and links the River Shannon and the River Erne. It began life as the Ballinamore-Ballyconnell canal in 1846 and after falling into disrepair with the decline in industry, it was refurbished as a leisure canal from the 1960s.

The Ulster Canal Greenway is now a lovely traffic free way to travel about Monaghan, but there are many reminders of its historic past. The Canal Stores are now a sports hall for the St Louis Convent School.

Despite being a village, Clogher boasts a Cathedral. It dates from 1744 and of note is the spectacular stained glass window behind the altar. History lovers will enjoy a stroll round the churchyard where interesting graves are labelled.

Across the fields you can see Aughintain Castle. It dates from 1618 and was destroyed as soon as 1641. The effort gone to build such a structure which survived for only 23 years. If you take a closer look, keep an eye out for musket holes on the castle walls.

There is a great view from the car park, but even better, park up your bike and take the short trail to the hiking viewpoint. There you can marvel at the panoramic views across County Fermanagh and County Monaghan. Take a seat in the oversized chair and enjoy. Especially lovely at sunrise and sunset.
