About Clones

Clones is a historic market town in County Monaghan, close to the Fermanagh border and within easy reach of Smithborough, Newbliss, Scotstown and Scotshouse. It has a compact, community-oriented centre surrounded by a predominantly rural hinterland, giving daily life a relaxed pace while retaining useful town services. Families are served by local primary education and St Macartan’s College in nearby Monaghan, with further secondary options available across the wider region. Clones is well placed for road travel, with regular bus connections linking the town towards Monaghan, Cavan and Enniskillen, although most commuters rely on a car. The town centre provides independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday services, while the Town Centre Car Park is convenient for errands and visiting local businesses. Leisure is strongly associated with Clones’ sporting tradition, particularly Gaelic games, and the area also benefits from nearby walks, community facilities and the scenic landscapes of west Monaghan. Local landmarks include the restored Ulster Canal surroundings and the town’s long-established connection with county football and hurling, creating a close-knit atmosphere with practical access to larger towns.
