The Monaghan Way is in South Monaghan and links the Patrick Kavanagh Centre in Inniskeen with Lough Muckno in Castleblayney. The walking trail give visitors a chance to get up close and experience the small hill countryside and local nature that fired the poet, Kavanagh's, imagination and made his poetry unique. The trail follows part of the track of disused railway, which formed part of the Great Northern Railway that linked Dundalk and Enniskillen, through the heart of the country, as it continues to Lough Muckno beside Castleblayney.
