Castleshane Forest & Waterfall
A Stunning Lake View
Castleshane Forest and Waterfall can be found around 5km outside of Monaghan town, off the N2, on the outskirts of Castleshane village. ‘Caisleán an tSiáin’ is the village’s name in Irish which translates to ‘Castle of the Fairy Mound’ – you will notice a height in the middle of the demesne that could be the mound the name refers to.
On entry from the N2, you can walk a loop around and see the three-storey remains of Castleshane House which was built in 1836 and burnt in 1920. Venture deeper into the woods off the gravel path and listen closely, you can find the Castleshane waterfall.
