A Walk Around Clones on a Winter Day - County Monaghan
We had a walk around Clones - checking out the Diamond, Round Tower, Fermanagh Street, Clones Abbey, The Butteryard beside the Creighton Hotel. Enjoying the history that is in every corner of the city...
Clones is known to be a small town that is located in western county Monaghan in Ireland. Clones also shares a border with county Fermanagh in Northern Ireland and this has been considered a reason for the economic status and problems that it went through since 1921 because the creation of the Irish border banned its access to a large part of its economic hinterland for many years.
We believe that Clones is a historic place since history fills it in every single corner one will get the chance to move across, although when it comes to the landmarks which one could visit, they might end up not being much and the rest will be about walking through the old streets and enjoying the old buildings, which was also part of the trip we have been on.
Through the tour that we have made in Clones, county Monaghan, we visited the Round Tower which is considered one of the most famous landmarks there. The Round Tower was built from sandstone and is believed to date back to the 10th century, which we are not totally sure of. This tower stood at almost 23 meters height including the conical cap which is missing at this point. The Round Tower has four storeys including the bell storey with a single window on each one of them except for the bell storey which had the usual four windows; one on each cardinal point on the compass. Just beside the tower, you will find some graves that let people sometimes refer to the place as the Clones Round Tower graveyard.
In addition to the Round Tower, we have also been to the Celtic Cross; the Celtic Cross which is standing on the Diamond also dates back to the 10th century and is made from sandstone as well. This cross is considered a combination of two separate crosses that mix the head of one and the shaft of another, and it reaches a height of 4.57 meters. The Celtic Cross in Clones is one of the famous attractions in the place for the history it carries since it is believed to be among the remains of a monastery founded in Clones by St. Tighernach in the sixth century. The faces of the shaft are not plain or free but they carry different pictures that are related to the biblical scenes, making it more interesting for those seeing it for the first time to come closer and inspect it all by themselves.
If you are visiting Clones and you are still searching for other significant places and spots to check in the place then there is also St. Tiernach's Grave, which was another place that we got to pass by and discover in real during our trip.
It is always different and exciting to get to experience a new place for the first time and discover all those different historical places which are found in it - just like what we have done while visiting Clones even though it wasn't the first time for us there, yet we got to see some places for the first time.
While walking through the streets of Clones, in addition to those old building and streets, you might also come across some sculptures, such as the one for the kids playing which we have passed by, and that is the reason why we always believe that walking through the streets of a new place that you are visiting for the first time might always give you the chance to see things that you did not have in the place, making the whole thing much more interesting.
If you are going to stay at Clones for any reason and want something else to do, you could enjoy visiting county Fermanagh, since it shares its border, and check some of the things that it could offer you as well. From those places which we have already been to and which we could recommend, there is the Enniskillen Castle Museum ( the Pollnagollum Cave in Enniskillen as well ( you might also visit a place that gives you the chance to enjoy Lough Erne ( check the Headhunters Barber Shop and Railway Museum ( or else visit Blakes of the Hollow pub in order to check the fourth door in Game of Thrones movie series if you happen to be a fan (
Sometimes the place we tend to visit might not carry much for us to see and explore, but we also believe that the more we search and walk through the streets, the more we will find and discover, and that is exactly the tip we want to give to all those travelers out there: never stop walking through the streets and you will never stop discovering new things.
Have you ever visited Clones in county Monaghan before to check any of these historical places we have been to and shared?

'Lucky' Down win Clones Cracker
Probably the most exciting finish to an inter-county game at the weekend was at St Tiernach's Park in Clones where Sligo nearly snatched victory from Down in their TG4 All Ireland Intermediate Quarter-final.
Down led by ten points well into the second-half but Sligo reduced the gap to just one point and had late chances to win. In the end, the Mourne girls held out on a scoreline of 2-14 to 3-10.
'The girls are absolutely devastated' said Sligo manager Pat Costello. 'They gave it everything but it wasn't to be'.
Down manager Mark Copeland knew luck had been on his side. 'If I'm honest, they were unfortunate not to draw or nick a win. We're relieved but it's about getting over the line and we're pleased to be in the semi-finals'.
Costello now sees Down and Waterford as being Championship favourites, with Fermanagh a 'dark horse'.
