Known locally as the "Wee Abbey", Clones Abbey is a ruined monastery dating back to the 12th century. The original abbey was founded by St. Tigernach as early as the 6th century. However, the abbey was destroyed by fire not once, but four times during its history. In the 16th century, the abbey suffered once again during the suppression of monasteries and Protestant reformation under Henry VIII. Less than a hundred years later, it lay in ruin, although some solitary monks still lived here until the 18th century. Today, you can visit the crumbling walls and take a look at the interesting graveyard. The abbey is free to visit and you can access it any time.

On the banks of the Ulster Canal, Cortolvin Woods is a corner of nature in suburbia.

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.

Glaslough is a cute village, full of character. It's name means ‘calm or green lake’ in Irish. You'll notice plenty of historical buildings as you pedal through and the Castle Leslie Estate is next to the village. Or even better, stop for a something to eat and drink.

Great accommodation for cyclists in the centre of Clones. Very good food too.

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.
