Ballinode is a
quiet rural village in north west Co Monaghan. It is just 6km north
west of Monaghan Town and less than 3km east of Scotstown beyond
which lie the Sliabh Beagh Hills.
Ballinode straddles the River Blackwater . The village boasts an
architecturally exquisite bridge over this river. The Ballinode
Veteran and Vintage Museum features carts, ancient kitchen utensils,
a traditional hearth, farmhouse furniture and an abandoned 1845 cell
door from Monaghan's Old County Jail.
Hollywood Lake is located between Scotstown and Ballinode villages.
A local voluntary committee purchased the lake and surrounds in 1969
and since then have developed a park with amenities. The lake itself
is stocked with bream, rudd, perch and pike. |
