Monaghan, Ireland- Home to the Arts
Monaghan was created when the glaciers of the ice age retreated. This left a beautiful landscape that is most known for the many drumlins located throughout the county. Even with the natural beauty that can be found in Monaghan, it is most widely known for being the home to many authors, writers and poets. Most notably, Monaghan boasts itself as the birthplace of poet Patrick Kavanagh. However, through the years the land has produced numerous artists including George Collie and is also known as the home of Irish writer Sir Shane Leslie. Still, the nature that is present in the landscapes and waterways provide plenty of opportunities for tourists to become involved in activities they enjoy.
