Patrick Kavanagh Rural & Literary Resource Centre

Candlefort, INNISKEEN, Co Monaghan, ROI,

Write a review

Birthplace of Patrick Kavanagh, one of Ireland's foremost 20th-century poets. The village grew around the ancient monastery of St Daig MacCairill, founded in 562, and its strong, 10th-century round tower still stands. The centre, housed in the former parish church, chronicles the ancient history of the region and its role in developing Kavanagh's work.
