Visitor Testimonials

“A brilliant way to see Rossmore. We had walked in the park before, but having a local guide made a huge difference. We learned so much about the old estate and noticed places we would normally have walked straight past.”

— Visitor from Dublin

“We were visiting Monaghan for the weekend and booked the tour on a recommendation. It was relaxed, interesting and never felt rushed. The stories about Rossmore Castle and the families who lived there were a real highlight.”

— Visitor from Cork

“Really enjoyable walk through a beautiful part of Monaghan. There was a lovely mix of history, woodland and local stories. Our guide clearly knows the park extremely well and made the whole experience very easy-going.”

— Visitor from Galway

“We brought the children and they loved looking for the Drumlin Giants along the way. The adults probably enjoyed the history just as much. A great family outing and a nice way to discover more of Rossmore.”

— Visitor from Donegal

“I had been to Rossmore Forest Park before but never realised how much history was hidden around it. The castle ruins, old estate features and stories brought the place to life. Well worth doing.”

— Visitor from Belfast

“Being fairly local, I thought I knew Rossmore quite well, but I was surprised by how many things I had never seen. It was interesting from start to finish and the local knowledge really added to the walk.”

— Visitor from Cavan

“A very friendly and informative tour. We especially enjoyed hearing about the old Rossmore estate and seeing some of the quieter parts of the park. It felt personal rather than like a formal guided tour.”

— Visitor from Meath

“We had a lovely afternoon in Rossmore. The pace suited everyone in our group and there was plenty of time to stop, look around and ask questions. We came away knowing far more about the park than when we arrived.”

— Visitor from Louth

“Rossmore is a beautiful place on its own, but the tour gives you a much better understanding of what you are looking at. The history of the castle and the hidden remains around the forest were fascinating.”

— Visitor from Kildare

“One of the nicest things we did during our trip to Monaghan. It was relaxed, good fun and full of interesting bits of local history. We would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Rossmore for the first time.”

— Visitor from Sligo

“A very enjoyable morning. We liked that the tour wasn't overloaded with dates and facts; the history was explained through stories and places as we reached them. It made everything much easier to remember.”

— Visitor from Tyrone

“We weren't sure what to expect, but we really enjoyed it. There is much more to Rossmore Forest Park than we realised. The woodland, old ruins and giant sculptures made for a very interesting walk.”

— Visitor from Wexford

“The local knowledge was the best part for us. We were shown little features and places that we would never have found ourselves. It gave us a completely different view of Rossmore and its history.”

— Visitor from Mayo

“I've walked in Rossmore many times over the years and still learned plenty on this tour. It was great hearing the stories behind familiar places and discovering a few corners of the park I hadn't paid much attention to before.”

— Visitor from Monaghan

“A lovely experience and a great introduction to Rossmore Forest Park. The walk was comfortable, the conversation was friendly and there was a good balance between history, nature and the stories connected with the park.”
