Ulster

Built around river valleys, coastal ports and long-established border routes, Ulster grew into Ireland’s historic northern province. These coordinates lie in County Monaghan, a low, rolling farming district in the Republic of Ireland near the border with County Fermanagh. Ulster’s nine counties are now divided between Northern Ireland, which comprises six, and the Republic of Ireland, which includes Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan. The River Erne runs through Cavan and Fermanagh before reaching Donegal Bay, while Lough Neagh and the Mourne Mountains shape other parts of the province. The early-17th-century Plantation of Ulster transformed settlement patterns and remains central to its heritage.
