A landscape you can reach out and touch. Intimate. Friendly and accessible. Resonant with the poetry of Patrick Kavanagh - ‘...the earth beautiful in the frosted glass of November trees’. A county for all seasons. A cathedral town. Picturesque villages. Shaped by drumlin hills, fishing lakes and lakes for recreation. A perfect backdrop to enjoy the great outdoors. Take a trip to the Carrickmacross Lace Gallery which is dedicated to this enchanting Irish craft dating back to 1820 or walk through the 18th century landscaped gardens of Hilton Park.
